One Wrong Move (#01 in Jeopardy Falls Series)

Thanks to Netgalley for my review copy.

I watched an interview with Dani Pettrey about this book and it made me want to read it. There is something about Private detectives that interest me. In this book Andi is an insurance investigator and Christian is a private detective with skills in security. They meet at a crime scene and end up working the case together. The bad guys are playing with them leaving clues on Andi's car. We learn early on Andi was a former FBI agent working in the lab. From the blurb we know Christian was raised by con artists for parents but will take a while to learn his whole story. Other characters include Christian's brother Deckard and sister Riley, along with Andi's friend Harper plus a couple others. As well as the bad guys.

The action starts from the start and continues right through the book. We also have the romance happening as well. there are many twists and turns which kept me reading. This wasn't a light read but each day I ended wanting to read more but I also needed sleep. It is my first book by Dani Pettrey but it won't be my last. I normally don't read a lot of suspense mainly stick to Love Inspired Suspense but may now read more in this genre. I eagerly await the next book in this series to see what will happen next in this family of Detectives.

There is a strong faith thread throughout the book as well. I would love to say more but I don't give away spoilers.

I enjoyed reading One Wrong Move, and I read it quickly (despite struggling with migraine symptoms) because I was hooked into the story and didn’t want to stop reading.

Andi is an insurance investigator who has the job of investigating an art galley heist in Jeopardy Falls, New Mexico. She previously worked for the FBI as a forensic analyst of crime scene evidence. Andi lost her FBI career when she was unfairly set up to take the fall for botched DNA evidence in a crime scene investigation. Andi knows she’s innocent and didn’t make a mistake, but she can’t prove it.

Christian had a rough upbringing with parents who were neglectful and con-artist criminals. The lack of parental guidance led Christian on his own criminal path to juvenile detention where he met Jesus and started turning his life around. Christian is a security expert who designs security systems, and the Jeopardy Falls art gallery is one of the properties he secured. He knows that the thieves are either experts at cracking sophisticated security systems, or there was insider involvement in the heist.

Andi and Christian’s romance was sweet and included many obstacles to overcome as they challenged each other to deal with past emotional baggage. I loved meeting Christian’s siblings and visiting their New Mexico ranch. I appreciated how Harper, Andi’s best friend from her FBI days, was loyal to Andi and prepared to take risks in seeking justice.

I recommend One Wrong Move to romantic suspense readers who like…
