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.
