Book Review: No Man’s Land by Sara Driscoll

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

NO MAN’S LAND (An FBI K-9 Book #4) by Sara Driscoll is the latest in this thrilling and fast-paced series featuring Special Agent Meg Jennings, her K-9 companion, Hawk and the FBI’s Human Scent Evidence Team. While each book can be read as a standalone, the characters continue to evolve and become more intertwined.

Meg and Hawk are out learning about “Urbexing” with her boyfriend and his coworker. The sites are run-down relics, creepy and sometimes dangerous, but interesting and extra training for Hawk. While exploring an abandoned asylum, Hawk finds the body of an elderly woman in an area that would have been impossible for her to reach on her own. After Meg reports the victim, she soon learns that there have been other elderly corpses found in urbex sites.

At first the team can find no evidence linking the victims and no evidence of the killer other than his method of killing. With the help of her team at the FBI and reporter Clay McCord, they are able to save one of the targeted victims, but they still have no motive.

As Meg gets closer to the elusive killer, she may take one too many risks to bring this killer to justice.

I love this series of books and this is another great addition. The plot was interesting as it intertwined the urbex information and culture with the surprising motive for the murders. The colleagues, friends and family are all fully fleshed and real to me, so I love catching up with their interpersonal relationships in each book. All the dogs also add to my love of these stories. I felt Meg was harder on herself than usual and took extreme risks in this story that surprised me, but I am hoping it was only because it was such a frustrating case. The team aspect of the FBI unit and the help of family, friends and dogs is what shines for me in these stories.

I highly recommend this book and series!
