Review: ‘Deadly Cargo’ by Jodie Bailey

ecrets could turn deadly

if an officer and his K-9 don’t uncover them.

Following an anonymous tip, K-9 Trooper Will Stryker’s drug-trafficking investigation has a new suspect—Jasmine Jefferson, an Alaskan bush pilot he’s convinced is hiding something. But when someone tries to kill them, Jasmine confesses she’s in witness protection. Now Will and his K-9 partner, Scout, must work with Jasmine to figure out if the attacks are related to his case…or if someone’s out for revenge.

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

About Jodie Bailey
Jodie Bailey is the CBA Best-selling author of novels about freedom and the heroes who fight for it. Her second novel, Crossfire, was a RT Reviewers’ Choice Award winner and her contemporary romance Quilted by Christmas received the Selah Award and spent two months on the CBA Bestseller List. Jodie is also a public speaker and teacher who packs her novels with the knowledge she’s gained as an Army wife.

Jodie Bailey grew up in Eastern North Carolina, where she developed a love for golden sand and the Atlantic Ocean. She started writing stories as soon as she learned how to put sentences together, and spent her childhood and teen years making her best friends’ dreams come true on paper.

In college, she met the love of her life–a soldier who rides a Harley and jumps out of airplanes for fun. This prompted a whole lot of moving from place to place, and she had no idea how much those moves would work their way into her stories. For ten years, she pursued her second love, teaching. Now a full-time writer, she still teaches part-time because the kids keep her young and, every once in awhile, she needs some time away from the imaginary characters.

Jodie currently lives in North Carolina with her husband, her daughter, and two dogs who think they rule the world.

‘No matter how this day ended, she was a dead woman.’

I love dogs and especially K-9 dogs. I also love books, especially the suspense genre. I also enjoy stories set in Alaska. So Jodie Bailey managed to tick all the boxes here! When K-9 Trooper Will Stryker gets a tip that bush pilot Jasmine Jefferson is hauling drugs on her plane, he is determined to bring her down. But there were no drugs on Jasmine’s plane. He does learn that Jasmine is in WITSEC, and it would appear someone is trying to kill her. Or him.

Jodie Bailey really knows her way around a good suspense novel. I never miss her books. She has crafted great characters and a really good plot with the perfect spiritual thread. All these combined make for a great read. Well done!

My thanks to the publisher and author for a copy of this book. The opinion here is my own.
