Leave No Trace

Written by Sara Driscoll

Narrated by Susan Bennett

In the fifth F.B.I. K-9 novel, Sara Driscoll weaves together fast-paced suspense and the fascinating world of law enforcement canines, as Meg Jennings and her search-and-rescue dog, Hawk, are heading south, where it's hunting season. But this time the prey is human.

One arrow through the heart could be a tragic hunting accident. A second one, within days, looks more like a crime. That's when Meg Jennings and Brian Foster of the F.B.I.'s Forensic Canine Unit head to Georgia to investigate. With their dogs Hawk and Lacey, Meg and Brian are enlisted to follow the scent of a killer. At first, nothing seems to connect the two victims--a county commissioner and State Patrol officer. But the blood sport around the southern town of Blue Ridge is just beginning.

As the body count rises, the compound bow killer becomes even more elusive, appearing and vanishing like a ghost. However, with each new slaying Meg is beginning to suspect the grim design that's escalating in the shadows. A tragic event that reaches back nearly two centuries in Georgia's history is now turning Blue Ridge into a hunting ground. But as Meg gets closer to solving the puzzle, the closer she is to stepping into the crosshairs of an elusive murderer with deadly aim, and motives as deep and dark as the woods...

Leave No Trace by Sara DriscollFBI K-9 #5Gripping, action-packed, who done it that I thoroughly enjoyed. Every book in this series has been a winner! What I liked: * Meg Jennings: FBI K-9 handler an ex-sniper, strong, intelligent, physically fit, great partner to humans, canines and her human partner. I really like her and her relationship with Hawk, Todd, Brian and the rest of the team* Hawk: Meg’s K-9 partner is a super-dog black Labrador with a huge personality and the heart of a lion. * Todd Webb: fireman, paramedic, and Meg’s boyfriend – a wonderful person and book boyfriend perfect for Meg.* Brian Foster and his K-9 partner Lacey: really like them together and as people. The strong friendship between Brian and Meg is priceless. * The plot, writing, and setting of the story* The police procedural aspects of finding who the serial killer was and what the impetus for the murders was * Learning new tidbits of history and other facts that were presented in epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter* The twists and turns that kept me guessing* The last chapter…* Clay McCord: newspaper reporter, friend, boyfriend to Meg’s sister Cara * Torres: FBI agent on the case that Meg and Brian were called to. He had to face local prejudice and did so unflinchingly* All of it really except…What I didn’t like: * The murderer…twisted mind for sure* Being reminded of the Trail of Tears and how badly the Cherokees were treated…along with the many other Native Americans. * Having to wait for the next book.Did I enjoy this book? YesWould I read more in this series? DefinitelyThank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
