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.

Zoey, an engineer who experiences very traumatic and unrealistic events walks out during an FBI raid. Next day, she sends an email to the FBI chief Alexis offering her services ! She gets a job as a K-9 handler training dogs in all kinds of detection activities.

As she is gaining experience, she gets an opportunity to go undercover to her old company to check on the spurious activities going on along with her new colleague and friend from the FBI K-9 training unit.

They both settle into their work routine, gather confidence of their colleagues and with the help of their K-9 companions, succeed in their mission and come back to the Riverbend K-9 unit where Zoey gets a good job doing what she loves most!

A marvelous, enjoyable reading experience!

Dogs, espionage, danger, attraction

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2023

"A Nose for Mischief" was a very pleasant surprise for me. No extraordinary magical abilities. Good dogs, trained to sniff out danger. Given all encompassing training and work while being loved, lived with and also allowed to be a dog.

The characters were well drawn. Zoey and Tasha, teamed with Liam and Tank returned to Zoey's old workplace, looking for what appears to be dangerous corporate espionage.

If you enjoy suspense, action, a bit of romance and mystery, I recommend this book.

All Around Great

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

I would add a hearty "Yes!" to some of the well written reviews for this book. It is thoroughly enjoyable.

My favorite element was how the motive and person or people involved were so well hidden by the need to find out what was actually happening in the first place and what pieces were part of the bigger picture, not random or accidental events. There are puzzles on top of puzzles on top of puzzles, but so clearly written you do not need notes to follow the plot.

Content is great, too! No graphic sex, violence, or language, just pure storytelling at its finest.

And if you like dogs 🐕... lots of bonus joy!

Happy reading!

This was a good story and very creative. The only problem was about 6 pages are blank in my kindle copy (check out around page 70).

Zoey lost her job at a battery factory due to an FBI raid. Although she was proven to have no part in the illegality at the factory, she is having trouble finding a job. She finally gets ticked off enough at the rejection letters that she fires off an email to the FBI. The agent is impressed enough with her audacity to offer her a part-time, non-paid position, just offering housing, where they are training dogs. I won't ruin the story, but Zoey and Tasha, a mixed breed hit it off, as well as with another agent, Liam and his dog.

It was the idea of a dog centered mystery that got me to pick up this book, but the actual premise is just something I couldn’t get my head around. It’s just a little too far fetched for me.

Strange question (bear with me a mo!), but do you ever want to kick your own butt?

*nods*

Phew! It’s a relief I’m not the only one *snorts*.

Why did I leave it so long between K.T. Lee reads?! Grr, bad Laura! Note to self: don’t do that again!

When life hands you lemons what’s a gal to do? Become an FBI dog handler-slash-intern, of course! *waves hand* Well, it’s their fault she’s in her current predicament. Trust me, Zoey may be a qualified materials science engineer, but she was running out of options and it’s kinda complicated (understatement!). She’ll be happy to fill you in once you get started.

*grins* I fell in love with a fluff ball, aka Samoyed-cross, called Tasha. (Let’s face it, I fell in love with Waffle and Tank, too!) The partnership between Zoey and Tasha was one of my favourite things in the story. It’s as if Tasha was just waiting on Zoey arriving, as if she knew, and their bond is immediate and heartwarming.

Going undercover (sorta… I’ve said it’s complicated) alongside the handsome FBI Agent, Liam Graham, and his furry partner, Tank, life is getting interesting for our h. A possible crime, escalating danger, and a frisson of romance, Zoey has a lot on her plate. She needs to use all her skills, old and new, to unravel this mystery.

I will say this, Zoey has lady balls for days! I wish we could be friends.

The will they/won’t they romance between Zoey and Liam was frustratingly good. I was in danger of wanting to slap myself again though… Who knew hand holding could be so romantic?? *sighs*

I love reading about woman in STEM (shocker, we have brains and we’re not afraid to use them!) and K.T. Lee is fast becoming one of my favourite authors in this genre.

Roll on Book 2 and Elise’s story.
