Rockies, Meg and Bryan,(along with Hawk & Lacey), are called in to find survivors. The premise pulled me in at the start and I had to read this one straight through. The tension grew with every step they made toward the survivors and the hi-jacker. The dangers of searching at higher elevations multiplied the suspense level for me. I always enjoy learning the more technical side of the dangers and the solutions. The camaraderie of the characters and the support they offer each other is so satisfying. I can hardly wait for the next book.

Summits edge is the 9th book in Sara Driscoll’s FBI K-9 series. This centers around the search for a highjacked corporate jet that goes down in the Colorado Rockies. FBI K-9 handles Meg and her partner Brian along with K-9 partners Hawk and Lacey are off to search for the plane crash and any survivors. This is another winner and I highly recommend the whole series. I enjoyed some references to details from those earlier books and can’t wait for the series to continue.

A place crashes in the Colorado mountains. Moments before someone on board had been shot. FBI handler Meg Jennings, who is two weeks away from her wedding to a firefighter, and K-9 partner Hawk are called in along with friend/partner Brian and K-9 partner Lacey. Battling weather, altitude, and attempting to locate possible survivors in the dark makes this one dangerous mission.

This book is all about the human and K-9 partners, how they work together and the process they go through to search for survivors and a killer. We are there for all of it including the prep. The level of detail is impressive and you learn a lot about mountain climbing and the process of a search and rescue as well as how handlers and K-9 partners work together. Hawk and Lacey are very impressive! There are also some friends on the outside that help.

The amount of detail, including dialogue from local teams there to assist, sometimes makes the pace feel slow. However, it feels like you're right there on the mountain with them and everything feels so realistic. I really appreciated that.

This is the ninth book in the series and there is some mention of previous cases Meg and Brian have been on. It made me excited to read them as the plots sound amazing and I feel this is a well researched series where you'll learn something new each time!

I love this cover which is what originally got my attention.Thank you to Netgalley for the chance to read! Summit's Edge comes out November 26.

FBI K-9 handler Meg and her search dog Hawk (with teammates Brian and Lacey) fly cross-country to aid in a search effort in the Rocky Mountains. A corporate jet has been hijacked (hence the need for FBI) and crashed into a "fourteener" [really high] mountain peak.

This is the ninth book in a series that I have devoured as each book is available. This one did not appeal to me as much as the prior books. Possibly because I share Meg's fear of heights?

Like all the others in the series, the author's painstaking research is obvious: mountain climbing, airplane mechanics, rifles and snipers, high altitude illness, avalanche survival ... You are guaranteed to learn something -- and enjoy doing so -- in a Sara Driscoll book.

Wow, y'all! Every book in this series gets better and better. FYI, the first book was pretty great on its own.

From the thrill of the chase and the description of the Rocky Mountains to the depths of the relationships and the empathy for those in harms way, this book has it all.

If you love action-packed mystery thrillers, dogs, and wee bit of romance, you'll love Summit's Edge.

Happy Reading!

Summit's Edge the latest book by Sara Driscoll did not disappoint.
This book was exciting as K-9
handlers Meg Jennings and her dog Hawk along with partner Brian and his dog Lacey meet up with two FBI team members out of the Denver field office and Mountain Rescue Aspen to search for survivors of a plane that crashed in the Elk Mountain region of Aspen, CO on Pyramid Peak that was brought down by a hijacker.
The teams started their trek up the steep peaks to look for any survivors and the hijacker had me engrossed from beginning to end. The details of the hike and the excitement and drama that everyone went through to find survivors will keep you staying up late to read.

Summit edge is number nine in the FBI K9 series and it doesn’t disappoint. I couldn’t put this one down and finished in a few hours. The way the author described the mountains made you feel as if you were there and the twist and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. The details about church rescue really bring home the dangers these teams face. The characters are some of my favorites and I can’t wait to read more.

Summit’s Edge by Sara Driscoll starts off with the intensity of a Barron pharma plane being hijacked over the dangerous, icy terrain of the Colorado mountains.
After the quick prologue that drew me into the story, FBI K9 handler, Meg, her partner Brian, and their amazing dogs take center stage. Meg’s wedding is in two weeks, and she has a fear of heights, but doesn’t let either of those issues stop her from stepping up to the plate. The level of research and awareness had me glued to the pages.
This story raced with a complicated search. The author did a good job at using dialogue to help orient the reader to what the rescue crew was up against, but in some places, heavy dialogue slowed the action. Either way, I like when I learn something new in a story. Although I highly doubt I’ll ever be anywhere so cold there is a snow avalanche, I know now how to handle being buried alive by snow. The team put in a lot of effort to bring Brian back, and the author’s vivid description had me on edge, worried that he might suffocate under the ice!
I received this book through Net Galley and was not required to give a positive review.

Always love a great K-9 story, and the series continues to excel. Excellent plot with lots of action plus characters you like to like make this book a welcome addition.

I’ve read many of Sara Driscoll’s books, although Summits’ Edge is the first time I read a book in the K-9 series. I always thought that this series was “not for me” – I was wrong! I am planning to back now to read the earlier books in the series.

Meg and Brian, and their K-9 canine partners Hawk and Lacey, are sent to the mountains of Colorado near Aspen, on a search mission for a suspected plane hijacker, who caused a crash after killing a passenger. The amount of research that went into the book is easy to see, with the level of details that supports the story and makes it feel like we are there with them. Like Meg, I am not comfortable with heights, and her ability to work through her fear is impressive.

In addition to the story, I enjoyed meeting the characters and all the different ways they work as a team – Meg and her K-9 Hawk, human partners Meg and Brian, Brian and his K-9 Lacey, and also the K-9s Hawk and Lacey work together as a team.

I highly recommend this book! I enjoyed this story and would like to read others in series. Thank you , Net Galley, the publishers, and author Sara Driscoll for allowing me to read the advance copy of this book.

Perilous search for a hijacked plane in high mountains!

Treacherous weather conditions, a dangerous fleeing hijacker and deadly mountain terrain make this a high-octane search and rescue. Meg Jennings and her K-9 Hawk face extreme challenges to find a downed plane. The plane crashed in an area of Colorado with 13-14,000 ft peaks. Brian Foster and his dog Lacey are also deploying on the search. If the weather, the mountain, or altitude doesn’t get them the fleeing gunman may.

Time is of the essence and if there are survivors of the crash hypothermia is a threat. Meg’s wedding to Todd Webb is only 2 weeks away. Local FBI agents join Meg and Brian. Everyone on the team knows the urgency and danger of the search. Meg's friend investigative reporter Clay McCord provides insight into the hijacker’s motives.

This 9th entry in the FBI K-9 series has terrifyingly real descriptions of the hazards of mountain searches. Meg and Brian’s partners back home are increasingly concerned by the perilous search. Sara Driscoll contrasts the escalating dangers with the warmth of support from Meg’s family and friends back home. There is no let-up of the suspenseful tension. I was eagerly turning pages to the end. I devoured this addition to an excellent series! Recommended for readers who enjoy Margaret Mizushima, Paula Munier, Paul Doiron and C J Box.

Thanks to Kensington Publishing and NetGalley for access to a digital ARC.

Good suspense with strong characters.
Meg is an FBI special handler, who with her FBI sanctioned canine companion, Hawk, is sent off to the Aspen area of Colorado to find a downed plane's possible survivors.
To complicate the search, there is an armed hijacker who apparently killed a passenger just before
the plane crashed into the mountains, on the loose.
Engrossing story with some education on search and rescue terms thrown in as well as the mystery surrounding the downed plane which carried the entire hierarchy of Barron Pharmaceutical's, currently under FBI investigation.
What I found dragging was the pages of descriptions on mountain search and rescue and the supplies that needed to be carried.
Meg and Brian were totally interesting characters as well as Lady and Hawk, their canine partners.

Summit's Edge is the 9th book in the FBI K-9 series.
Consultant Meg Jennings is a K-9 handler who works with the FBI.
Her and Hawk, a black Lab, and coworker Brian Foster along with Lacey, a German Shepherd are scent to an assignment in the mountains of Colorado just two weeks before Meg's wedding.
A private plane owned by a pharmasudical company is highjacked shortly after takeoff.
The flight attendant is able to get word to the Flight tower about the situation shortly before the plane crashes in the mountains around Aspen Colorado.

Pro's:
This was a good book with developed characters, a strong plot line and lots of action.
I also enjoyed the fact that while the situations and actions were fast paced and constant.
It was a clean read as far as language went.

Con's:
This is a highly technical book, that along with some referrences to previous books.
I would recommend reading the series in order.
I'd like to thank NetGalley and the author for allowing me to read this Advanced Reader's Copy.

Thanks to Netgally and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for honest review!
This was a very interesting, extremely detailed novel about searching for a suspected hijacker in the mountains of Colorado. I feel like I learned so much about mountain climbing and altitude sickness! As someone who has a fear of heights, the descriptions of the settings were so incredibly detailed that I felt as if I were right there with the team of searchers on the mountain. This is the only book I've read in this series and it definitely worked as a standalone.
I really enjoyed this book!

A possible hijack causes not only a shooting, but, a plane crash. This puts the investigation in Jen's department. The search dogs are not really meant for climbing, let alone in high altitudes of Colorado. Jen is afraid of heights, but she and Brian have to go up. Not only mountain climbing, a battle altitude sickness but repelling down from high heights with their search dogs strapped tho their backs. This is a nail biting, page turning action packed in a way only Ms. Driscoll can weave. The climbing and descending made my heart race. Literally action from the first chapter to the last. This is a book that is very much worth the read.

I just finished the best crime thriller! Summits Edge was a gripping, enthralling thriller that kept me up until the very end.

I was gripped by Book 9 in this riveting FBI K-9 series, set in the Colorado mountains after a plane goes down. Can easily be read as a standalone but will make you want to read Sara Driscoll's whole compelling series, especially if you love dogs and thrilling mountain tales.

An interesting book. I learned a lot about mountain climbing and dog handling. Characters are likeable. The plot is somewhat predictable.

Meg Jennings and Hawk, her canine partner from the DC FBI K-9 unit, are tasked with finding survivors, if any, of a plane hijacked over some Colorado mountains – peaks rising to 14,000 feet, just two weeks before her wedding. At times, the descriptions of climbing these peaks were just too intense! Action packed from the start, I could not wait to descend with Meg and Hawk from these mountains! Meg is definitely someone who I want to read more about!!! I received an ARC from NetGalley, and the opinions expressed are my own.

This is the 9th book in a series, but even without having read the previous books, it is easy to jump in and be immersed in the plot as it unfolds. The main character is a K9 handler with the FBI, Meg battles her internal fears while pursuing the hijacker of a plane that has gone down in the mountains. The author moves the plot forward with each chapter pulling my attention to the next while providing enough details of climbing to build the sense of danger while not being cumbersome. Great novel that is absolutely worth a read.
