Todd Borg

Holding a grudge for 20 years definitely isn’t a good thing - especially for the person who the grudge is against.

Tucker Dopple held a grudge against Benito Diaz and McKenna for 20 years because Benito testified against him and McKenna was the policeman who apprehended him and put him in prison for all those years.

Tucker is out and seeking revenge….he vows to kill both men and doesn’t make it a secret that he is out to get them. He told Benito that right to his face after he kidnapped him and beat him up.

Meanwhile another murder happens at a reunion of doctors, and that puts McKenna in the middle of that case and as usual with dire consequences.

TAHOE FLIGHT continues the story of McKenna, His Largeness, Street, Blondie, and Camille, the daughter Street adopted, along with the tension-filled story line of McKenna once again trying to stay alive.

The wonderful characters readers love continue to warm our hearts but also raise our blood pressure with the risks and dangers McKenna always puts himself in.

Don’t miss #21 of Todd Borg’s always educational and stress-filled adventures of Detective Owen McKenna.

Fans will love this one as much as all the others. 5/5

This book was given to me by the author for an honest review.… (mere)

With Street Casey in the process of adopting a nine-year-old deaf girl, Owen becomes part of a family, and this new phase of his life leads to a more sedate pace in Todd Borg's Tahoe Flight. This slower pace makes perfect sense because the author just can't put Owen's girlfriend, a little deaf girl, and dogs Blondie and Spot in jeopardy over and over again. Well, he could, but readers like me certainly wouldn't be very happy about it!

As always, Borg managed to astound me with a new way criminals have devised to make money-- one involving being able to fly in and out of less visible (and accessible) areas surrounding gorgeous Lake Tahoe. I do have to admit that the aviation logistics proved to be a bit too much and kept me away from one of the things I enjoy so much about this series: the characters.

Borg has a knack for creating intelligent characters that readers would love to make a part of their own families. Now there are children in the cast, and I'm enjoying their addition, too. Nine-year-old Camille shows readers how Street and Owen are adapting to life with a deaf child, and I really liked Benito Diaz's nephew, Damen. In fact, I'm hoping Damen will appear in a future book or two.

The pace may be slower in Tahoe Flight, but there's a barn burner of an ending when Owen and Spot are kidnapped, forced onto a plane, and taken over Lake Tahoe. I knew that nothing horrible was going to happen to Owen and Spot, but I certainly couldn't figure out how in the world they were going to get out of that mess!

I've loved this series from the beginning for its intelligent cast, its exciting mysteries, and its drop-dead beautiful setting. Chances are, if you're new to these books, you'll enjoy them for the exact same reasons.
