Deadly Revenge - (Pearl River) by Patricia Bradley

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, publisher, and NetGalley. There was no obligation for a positive review.

A fast paced, intense romantic thriller that takes up on a heart pounding journey! Full of twists and turns and never lacking in suspense, you will find this book difficult to put down. Deputy Jenna Hart finds herself back in her hometown of Pearl Springs. When a local city official is killed, Jenna finds herself as the lead detective for the first time and thrust into figuring out a sinister plan to take down former city officials. TBI Agent Maxwell Anderson, Jenna’s former boss in Chattanooga, is in Pearl Springs to help protect the Senatorial candidate. When he and Jenna cross paths, sparks immediately fly and old feelings rekindled. As they race to figure out who is targeting former officials in Pearl Springs, it soon becomes evident another plan is at play but this one against Jenna personally. Can they figure out two evil plots and learn to trust each other in the process? This book is an excellent addition to the series! It kept me captivated and I hated to see it end. Great characters that you are really drawn to and lots of suspense and danger to keep you glued to the page. I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher through NetGalley.

I always look forward to a new release from Patricia Bradley. Deadly Revenge did not disappoint. This book has us back in Pearl River, Tennessee under the jurisdiction of Chief Deputy Alex Stone. Former Chattanooga detective Jenna Hart is now serving on the Pearl River force, returning to her hometown, leaving a difficult work environment behind. Now it appears someone may be entering her home when she is away, leaving no tangible evidence behind. TBI Agent Max Anderson is in Pearl River investigating threats against a political candidate scheduled to speak in the small town. Jenna and Max have a past; readers will have to read to see if they have a future as they work together to determine who may be a threat to Jenna and who is a threat to the candidate. Patricia Bradley has a well-paced writing style, not only revealing information at just the right time, but also never rushing an ending, something that is very important to me. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Deadly Revenge from Revell via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
