    This review was written for Snitch, Occupational Hazard Series #2.
    I confessI confess. I snatched Snitch from the arms of a stocking clerk in LifeWay Bookstore a few weeks ago. Thats right, straight from the young mans arms. Shock, surprise, and awe flittered across his face. I must have this copy, I said as I made my way to the check-out counter to pay for my copy.I didnt need another book to read. I had just had a copy of another authors newest book autographed to add to my ever towering stack of books to read. But I had to have Snitch. Rene Gutteridges Occupational Hazards series is just too enticing to put off purchasing. In fact, I read it immediately. I couldnt resist temptation got the better of me.Snitch didnt disappoint me. The characters are engaging, likable and real. They have flaws; theyre not perfect, but they try. And the humor remains. For me, I think, the humor that Rene uses in her novels is one of the biggest draws of her writing style. Her style absorbs her readers. Youre in the midst of the book without trying.Oh, yes, what is the plot of Snitch? Well, Mackenzie Mack Hazard, a member of the Hazard family (all former clowns), takes on a new job in undercover work for the Las Vegas Police Department. The task force she has been assigned to has a tough job uncover the culprits in an auto theft ring operating in Las Vegas. The task force is headed by Sergeant Ron Yeager, a man a couple of years away from retirement. Yeagers task force is comprised of rookies, experienced undercover officers and a minister a minister? Yes, an undercover minister on sabbatical from his pulpit.How can such a misfit group of people work together to achieve their purpose without getting them all killed? Read Snitch to find out if and how the task force solves their problem. Snitch is a book laugh-packed with thrills.

    When Sgt. Ron Yeager--a couple of years from retired and bored to tears--is asked to head up an undercover operation to stop car thieves, he jumps at the chance to shake things up. Little did he know what he was getting in return. An undercover cop who falls asleep at the most inopportune times--aptly nicknamed Dozer. Dozer's friend and fellow cop Jesse, who having a couple of years in undercover behind him things he's seen it all, done it all. An outspoken Christian named Mack Hazard, who wants to be an undercover cop when she grows up, but really doesn't have the heart for it it seems. Another who's always having to go the restroom. And . . . Ron's pastor? You'll have to read the book to learn about this last one and more.And when the operation goes beyond what anyone thought it ever would things really start cooking with this tale.Once again, Rene has written a heartwarming story of sincere faith woven into the fabric of a entertaining story. The one thing that really surprised me was Ron Yeager. Though the story is part of the Occupational Hazards series and one of the characters is a Hazard sibling, the main character always seemed to be Ron. I didn't mind though. He was engaging, entertaining, interesting and a character to care for. You really want this guy to rise above when he's become and see him shine. And he does.Like one other reviewer said, this is book two in a series and yet it stands on it's own. I never found myself wondering about what had gone before. Rene does a great job of helping you understand what came before and how it relates to now with feeling like you have to go back and read book one. Though I hope you will.If kooky characters in outrageously funny situations that stretch them is your thing, Rene Gutteridge is the writer to read. She always manages to be funny and serious in the right places. Her writing is tight and easy to read.Congrats on another great story Rene!

    When asked to head up a task force to bust an auto theft ring in Las Vegas, Sergeant Ron Yeager isnt sure he wants to leave his desk job. Oh, he knows he still has what it takes. Hes just not sure he has the nerve to face his wife if he takes an undercover assignment this close to retirement! And when his overeager pastor inserts himself onto Rons mismatched team of officers, he begins to suspect they dont have a prayer of a chance. The resulting madcap adventure is full of unexpected twists, comical developments, and a wonderful example of living your faith at work. Gutteridges witty writing kept me chuckling all the way to the end. I loved this book, and I think you will, too.

    Although retirement looms on the near horizon and he earned the desk job, Las Vegas police sergeant Ron Yeager is bored. Thus when the brass asks him if he would agree to train an undercover task force of rookies to infiltrate an auto theft gang, Ron euphorically says yes. He may have reconsidered his agreeing if he met his inexperienced team before his acceptance.Ron meets his squad and instantly knows some idiot must be punishing him as they make the worst choices he could imagine going undercover inside the underbelly of Sin City. The squad includes an open Christian Mackenzie Mack Hazard trying to get converts, super-egotistical Jesse know it all Lunden trying to get Rons job, and Dozer trying to stay awake more minutes than Disneys Sleepy. Ron thinks this trio will send him into disability retirement due to high blood pressure.The second Occupational Hazards tale (see SNOOP) is a delightful police procedural due to a strong prime cast. Ron is fabulous as he wonders what insanity led him to say yes. His tyros are eccentrically different as Mack makes her religious beliefs known to her teammates, Jesse makes it clear he knows more than anyone else including Ron, and Dozer cannot stay awake. Humor and police on the job training and investigation fit nicely together in Rene Gutteridges fun inspirational tale.Harriet Klausner

    I have enjoyed reading many of Rene Gutteridge's books. Snitch was filled with interesting characters. I like this series because it is mostly about the people involved in the story rather than the story itself. The characters do not all fall into categories of good guys and bad guys there are some with a little of both. It is an enjoyable read.
