Deadly Revenge (Pearl River Book #3) by Patricia Bradley

 

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 Review

This is the third book in this series, but they can be read along, some recurring characters.

This is Jenna Harts story, and TBI agent Max Anderson's and there is danger and suspense coming from more than one direction.

This is Christian suspense at it's best, and this author does not disappoint. Danger is ever present, but there is such a kindness for fellowman, and love of family.

You wonder if those you come to care about will make it to the end, and what is triggering all of the happenings?

Just when you thing it is all wrapped out, nope, there is more! Keep page turning!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
