Blood on the Tracks by Barbara Nickless

BLOOD ON THE TRACKS
Barbara Nickless
4 stars MILD
For her first novel, Nickless, creates in intricate tale. Written in the first person limited point of view, we experience what it is like to live with PTSD as well the life of a police officer working with a canine on the rail system. Don't let the page count turn you off, as the fast pace will have you finished in no time. Nickless seamlessly ties everything together with a shocking ending but leaves a question in case she decides to do a second installment. Recommended for romance fiction readers as well as anyone with a interest in war, PTSD, canine police, and suspense with discretion due to a lightly descriptive intimacy scene in the second half of the book, lots of cursing throughout, violently detailed descriptions of war and the use of Jesus' name as a curse.

SUMMARY: Railroad Police Special Agent, Sydney Rose Parnell is cIt seems to be a set up but the fiancĂ© can't seem to remember anything after walking into the apartment where the victim is found. Parnell and her k9 partner, Clyde, work together with the department homicide unit to discover the true killer.
