Killer Cargo
April 26th, 2008 . by LisaWhen we meet our heroine in Killer Cargo by Dana Mentink, she’s sitting on a small runway in her private plane waiting for someone to pick up her delivery of pet food. This is a routine delivery for her for one of her steady customers, so she thinks nothing of flying out to the back of beyond to deliver pet food. While she’s waiting she goes back and makes friends with a 3 legged bunny rabbit she names Homer. While sorting through her cargo, she discovers something she wasn’t meant to see and thus begins her “adventure.”
While running from some unsavory guys, she’s shot at, borrows a car, has a wreck and ends up at an animal refuge called One Word. She’s trying to convince the owner she’s telling the truth about what happened, and then the town Chief of Police, both of whom are suspicious of her. She also has to face her past and make her peace with God. There are a few more twists and turns, but I won’t give it away.
I enjoyed reading Killer Cargo. I couldn’t wait until the end, to see who the bad guy was..I guessed right..but will you? The book was an easy read with a good story line. I identified with the characters and felt myself pulling for Maria and her hero, hoping everything worked out in the end, even though I knew it probably would.
