On St. Nick's Trail

Christmas Without St. Nick

In their newest case, Nala and her partner, Max, the talking dog, are hired to find the missing Santa from Christmas Land. The park is located in BFF Karly’s hometown and naturally she unexpectedly arrives to assist. Although Nala is concerned for her untrained friend’s safety, Karly is the only other person who knows about Max’s abilities and the three began their search, discovering that Santa (Chris] appears to be more than just a jolly, old, gift-giving gentleman. Will they find Santa in time and will their search lead them directly into the path of a very dangerous wanted criminal? I love these mysteries. Max is every dog owner’s dream. When you ask him a question, he answers, often with a sarcastic sense of humor and he makes this series humorous and unique. There is plenty of peril, as Nala is prone to putting herself in danger in spite of excellent training and skills acquired from her father, the cop. All the regulars including Tyler, Nala’s on again/off again love interest, her parents and her computer expert, Elvin, add continuity and character to the stories. I’m a fan of all of Ms. Scott’s books, but this series just might be my favorite.
