Deputy Jenna Hart has only been working in her sleepy hometown of Pearl Springs for seven months when city officials begin to be targeted by a killer. Twenty years ago, the construction of a dam caused people to lose their land to eminent domain. That wound has not healed with time, and someone bearing a grudge is clearly set on revenge. With the former mayor of Pearl Springs now running for the US Senate, Jenna will have to call in backup to ensure his protection.
That's where Agent Maxwell Anderson comes in. He and Jenna used to work together in the Chattanooga Police Department, and there was even a smoldering fire of attraction. Now they team up to track down the killer before a big political rally that promises to bring not only the former mayor into the crosshairs but hundreds of civilians as well.
As the sparks of romance reignite and the threads of the investigation get tangled when another suspect comes into play, Jenna and Max will have to draw on all of their skills to stay alive and prevent the wave of disaster poised to hit the community of Pearl Springs. The question is, can either of them fully trust that the other has their back?
My Thoughts:
Deadly Revenge by Patricia Bradley features two mysteries rolled into one. Bradley does a wonderful job at creating the mystery from the heroine and hero's perspective. The plot kept me guessing as I flowed through the pages. Even though Bradley did tell who the bad person was pretty soon in the book, it was nice to be able to follow the story to see how she has the characters figure out the plot. On the other hand, the romance took a little time to develop trust between the two characters because of a rocky past. The storyline was a little different with the feeling of similiarity to other romantic suspense novels. Familiar readers with the previous books in the Pearl River novels will be happy to see familiar characters and a familiar setting. Overall, Deadly Revenge by Patricia Bradley fits right into the romantic suspense genre and will satisfy readers of this genre.
I received a complimentary copy of Deadly Revenge by Patricia Bradley from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Purchase Deadly Revenge
