Paula Munier A Borrowing of Bones Mercy Carr and Elvis K-9 New Series!

A Borrowing of Bones by author Paula Munier is a wonderful new mystery series with ex-MP Mercy Carr and her Belgian Malinois, Elvis.  Mercy is healing from past traumas, physical and emotional as she works with the sheriff department in a remote area of Vermont. The healing of body and mind after the immersion of survival in a war-torn country is not easy, but Mercy and Elvis are making it one day at a time.
She is out walking Elvis and he hits on the presence of explosives. Elvis is healing from his own trauma and sometimes he goes a bit off course as he is associating Mercy as his handler since the death of his previous owner/handler, Martinez. He finds a baby rattle or teether which seems very much out of place in this area.
I enjoyed this book very much! It is well written, has wonderful characters, and I love the SARs dogs Elvis and Susie Bear. The plot interweaves finding an abandoned baby in the remote wilderness, finding old bones from a previous murder, domestic violence, and cultural elements which strike a cord from revolutionary days of the past.
I will be eagerly waiting for the next book in this series!
Publication Date September 11, 2018
