"Counter Attack", by Patricia Bradley

This is the story detective Alex Stone who took over as the county deputy sheriff in Pearl River after her grandfather had suffered a heart attack and had asked her to step in his place. In her new role she came into contact with Nathan Landry, a long lost sweetheart and Pearl Springs chief of police. Together, they are soon drawn into the Queen’s Gambit killer, a case Alex was familiar with....and as things moved on their feelings for each other grew stronger and stronger....awe....love is in the air.

This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. Ms. Bradley knows how to create a brilliant saga with multiple twists and turns and along the way teases us with clues to pique our interest and keep us engaged. The story is written in a clean language and her clipped and steady prose adds to the rising tension that definitely left me on edge and no doubt you also will be. Every page is filled with action, romance and danger I was so busy flipping the pages to see what came next that I didn’t see the time go by. The characters are charming and realistic...what is not to love.
Well said and well- done

I had the opportunity to receive a copy of this book from Revell through the Early Reviewers program
