Deadly Revenge (Pearl River, #3)/by Patricia Bradley

Deadly Revenge (Pearl River, #3)
ABOUT THE BOOK

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.....

This new book by Patricia Bradley is enjoyable on so many levels! The mystery and suspense are top-notch, there is a heartwarming romance, and the characters are people that I could hang out with. Oh, there are a few that made me cringe but most of them are decent, law-abiding citizens and in fact, some of them ARE the law! Deadly Revenge is the third book in the Pearl River series and it's the perfect way to wrap up the series. Detective Jenna Hart returns home to Pearl River, Tennessee after a harrowing work incident in Chattanooga but it doesn't appear to be the peaceful homecoming she would like. Is she being targeted by an enemy or is PTSD causing her to imagine that someone is entering her house...over and over again?

Deadly Revenge is a thrilling story with second chances, friends-to-more romance, and two cases that may be connected! The central focus is on Jenna and TBI agent Max Anderson but many of the characters from the first two books are featured also. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat, the tension was non-ending, and I loved the strong element of faith subtly woven throughout the story. Bradley once again gives suspense fans a story that they won't want to miss!

I received a copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
