Lone Wolf by Sara Driscoll
FBI K-9 series #1. Mystery suspense.
FBI Agent Megan Jennings and her canine partner Hawk, work search and rescue. After a bomb hits a government building in Washington, DC, Meg and Hawk work for hours searching for victims, both dead and alive. No sooner than they get home, they are called out again as another bomb destroys a building. The race is on, trying to figure out who is behind the destruction.

Intense and engrossing. The detective work and reasoning has them getting closer to the perpetrator. Hawk plays a key role. Such a good dog! ( )

"Lone Wolf" was a quick, thrilling read about an FBI dog handler, Meg Jennings, and her beautiful Search and Rescue labrador, Hawk. This team has the grim task of trying to find survivors after a domestic terrorist bombs a government building in Washington D.C.

I loved Hawk and the other dogs in this book, and their human handlers were also interesting characters. The special partnership that was between dog and human was moving and the times they spent together when off-duty, provided a nice relief from the horrors they faces when entering bomb sites. The author aslos did a good job explaining how the dogs worked and responded to various situations.

"Lone Wolf" provided a good start to what could be an exciting series. Keep the dogs coming! ( )

Thanks to Goodreads and the publisher for a free copy of Lone Wolf!

A compelling first book in a new series dealing with the FBI's K9 unit. The plot is fast-paced and gripping -- and, as it deal with terrorist bombings, reads like something that could be straight from the headlines.

I will say that for anyone who doesn't do well with animal death (like me), there is some stuff described in a flashback that may be upsetting. That's probably obvious given the subject matter of the book -- I definitely don't have illusions about the safety of dogs involved in this level of tracking -- but it's probably worth mentioning.

Overall, an enjoyable read. Recommended to anyone who loves thrillers and dogs. ( )

I really enjoyed this book, which is the first in a new series about Meg and Hawk, members of the FBI's K-9 unit. Lone Wolf is the story of a mad bomber and the race to stop him in his tracks before there are more casualties. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. ( )

3.5 stars.
Lone Wolf is the first book in a new mystery series about an FBI K-9 team featuring Meg Jennings and her black Labrador, Hawk. They help in search and rescue as well as tracking missions and become part of a large task force chasing a bomber who is seeking to punish those who he believes wronged him.
With an easy-to-read style, this was an entertaining read and should appeal to any dog lovers, as there was plenty of information on the training of working dogs, their behavior, and in particular, the bond between handler and dog.
The authors introduce a host of interesting side characters including Meg's sister, Cara, who runs a dog training center, Clay, a reporter, and Todd, a fireman, as well as Brian and Lacey who are also part of the K9 team. They are all really likeable characters and I'd be interested to read more about them and hope they'll become more fleshed out in subsequent books. The mystery aspect wasn't particularly suspenseful or intense but interesting enough to keep my attention throughout. I felt Meg was portrayed a bit too much like some super intuitive superwoman who could solve anything while the rest of the task force lagged behind. Personally, I prefer characters who are slightly more flawed. However, it's a new series that definitely has potential, especially if you enjoy reading about dogs. The definitions at the start of nearly each chapter would have been better placed in the format of a list at the end of the book as there often was no connection to the chapter they introduced. ( )
