“Mizushima secures her place as one of the West’s top mystery writers. Her impressive knowledge of search-and-rescue dogs, her descriptive powers, her fresh plotting, and smooth writing style put her in a league with authors such as C.J. Box. Gathering Mist is destined to become a western classic. While part of a series, Gathering Mist, nonetheless, reads like a stand-alone novel. It is the finest of Margaret Mizushima’s nine Timber Creek K-9 mysteries. I love Robo.”
