They can also hear frequencies beyond human range. She must know that dogs have 100 times more nasal sensors per unit area than humans, and that a large dog will also have a much larger olfactory area. As to her K9 training, we are told repeatedly how, in training, she learned to trust her dog's signals, but she repeatedly discounts his reactions and overlooks the obvious.
The dialog is equally immature it sounds more like a young adult novel. She is portrayed as having trust issues, but in fact, she behaves as if all her feelings about men are new to her. She seems to relate well enough to children and other women, but acts like a young teenager around men instead of a woman in her early 30's. On the one hand, Mattie is supposedly a tough lady and clearly trying to be a dedicated officer. I really couldn't decide what I thought about the protagonist, Mattie Cobb, but the dog is the real hero. Not bad for a first novel, but shallow mystery.
