When materials engineer Zoey Butler lands her dream job at Future State Energy, she believes her research in renewable energy will make headlines. Unfortunately for her, she’s right. Zoey is working on her latest experiment when FBI Special Agent Alexis Thompson and her K-9 partner, Waffle, raid Future State and arrest the head of the development for fraud. Zoey helps the FBI find answers in the aftermath, but she soon finds herself jobless and unemployable. Desperate and out of options, she reaches out to Alexis, the one person who knows Zoey was duped like everyone else.

Liam Graham is an FBI special agent and instructor at Riverbend K-9 Academy. When Alexis brings in a new recruit with an unusual background, Liam pairs her up with Tasha, a dog in need of a handler to stay in their competitive program. Zoey is thrilled to put her past behind her and give the mischievous rescue dog her own second chance. However, shortly after she arrives, the FBI realizes the Future State case is far from closed. And Zoey may be the key to solving it.

Zoey offers to go back to Future State to help the FBI end things once and for all. Only this time, she’ll have Liam and Tasha for backup. But, the problems at Future State are more explosive than any of them suspect.

My Review

My Rating: 3.5 Stars
Consider liking my review on Goodreads

I was granted complimentary access to A Nose for Mischief by K.T. Lee as part of my participation in a blog tour for this title with Rachel’s Radom Resources. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

A Nose for Mischief is a very easy, breezy read you can finish in a single day if you want to. It’s fun, light, and goes by quickly! If you’re a dog lover you’re sure to get lost in all the cute dogs running off of each page and through your imagination.

With that said, this didn’t feel like a cozy mystery to me. Cozy mysteries, while light and non-traumatizing to read, do still tend to have a definite “bad guy” and a clearly structured plot arc. A Nose for Mischief just feels like a snapshot of the main character’s unlucky but dog-filled life. The characters are fun, the dogs are great, and it’s all tons of fun to read, but the antagonist is weak and I routinely forgot what the “problem” to be solved was.

If you’re in it for a light read full of dogs and friendly characters and a hint of mystery, A Nose for Mischief is a great choice!

My compliments to the cover designer! This cover is cute and eye-catching and definitely made me look twice at the blog tour email for this title.
