Customer Reviews

Intense

I was reminded of the series, White Collar, where the art thief helps the FBI solve cases, In One Wrong Move, the main character (Christian) is a reformed art thief who installs security systems in high end art galleries and Andi is a former FBI forensics person who is now an insurance investigator. There are two plots to this story, Christian and Andi trying to find out who is behind the heists and stop them and Christian's brother, Deckard and Andi's friend Harper trying to find out if/who framed Andi so that she lost her job with the FBI and why. This book is intense suspense, never knowing when the bad guys will attack and how far they will go to stop the main characters. Lots of twists and turns, romance, humor, faith, family dynamics, and action packed scenes.

fantastic adventure

Christian and Andi are a dynamic duo. I loved watching them work side by side and also loved following the two crime mysteries converge into one beautifully orchestrated story because of Christian and Andi. The plot was intricate and intense, full of action, adrenaline, and surprises. Dani Pettrey really knows how to write romantic suspense - this book will grab you from the start and you will not be able to put it down. Christian, despite his horrible childhood, is a rock solid hero who is loyal, steadfast, and dedicated. I loved meeting his family and cannot wait to see more of his siblings in the series. Andi is smart and likable. Though it takes a little while for them to warm up to each other, their romance is sigh-worthy. Bring on the next adventure in Jeopardy Falls, NM! I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Bethany House via LibraryThing and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own

Suspense in the Southwest

One Wrong Move by Dani Pettry is a great start for the new Jeopardy Falls series. Loaded with suspense and action, this story kept me turning the pages to see what happened next. I liked the setting, the characters, and both mysteries that had to be solved. The bad guys are deliciously bad and create many problems. Pettrey doesn’t go over the top with the action, which keeps the story believable, but there is plenty of it. She weaves in a faith message that isn’t preachy. I’m looking forward to reading the next story in the series and predict this could be Pettrey’s best work yet.
