Ebook reread. Just wanted something solid, well thought out and engaging. Pierce always delivers. (

I tried to listen to the audio version but while I loved the first one I just did not like the second. It was too depressing. I think I need to actually read the paper version.

I like the Beka Cooper books–maybe not so much as her earliest books, but I like them a lot. During this one, Beka and Tunstall go to Port Caynn, which was a nice change of scenery and introduced a different part of Tortall. I admit to getting a tad bored with the dog-training parts, but they did help round out Beka a bit. (

Well, this sat on my nightstand for like 3 months and I never finished it so I guess I'm not going to.

For whatever reason I just don't like this series as much as some of her other ones.

Epigraph

Dedication

I want to dedicate this long-delayed second volume of
Beka's adventures to my assistants,
Sara Alan and Cara Coville.
I think that without them
I might have gone just plain nuts.
I would also like to dedicate this book to
Joel Sweifach, my first accountant.
Joel, you kept my ship afloat!

First words

Thursday, September 6, 247 H.E. I should have known tonight's watch would kiss the mule's bum when Sergeant Ahuda stopped me after baton training.

Beka Cooper is finally a Dog—a full-fledged member of the Provost’s Guard, dedicated to keeping peace in Corus’s streets. But there’s unrest in Tortall’s capital. Counterfeit coins are turning up in shops all over the city, and merchants are raising prices to cover their losses. The Dogs discover that gamblers are bringing the counterfeit money from Port Caynn. In Port Caynn, Beka delves deep into the gambling world, where she meets a charming banking clerk named Dale Rowan. Beka thinks she may be falling for Rowan, but she won’t let anything—or anyone—jeopardize her mission. As she heads north to an abandoned silver mine, it won’t be enough for Beka be her usual “terrier” self. She’ll have to learn from Achoo to sniff out the criminals—to be a Bloodhound. . . .
