One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey is the first book in the Jefferson Falls series. And if you are a fan of Pettrey’s novels, you know she delivers fantastic suspense mixed with romance. One Wrong Move is a complex story, featuring two mysteries for readers to unravel.
First, Christian O’Brady meets insurance investigator Andi Forester at a crime scene…a heist! Stolen artwork and heists are Andi’s forte and Christian was the man responsible for the security system at the art gallery. They team up and soon learn that someone is willing to take extreme measures to keep them from investigating. In a separate mystery (not even a subplot, but another completely separate investigation), FBI Analyst Harper Grace sets out to prove that her bestie Andi didn’t botch an investigation, an event that ruined Andi’s career with the FBI. She teams up with Christian’s brother, Deckard, who is a PI who thought Andi was guilty of negligence. They pair up and become a target as someone doesn’t want them to learn the truth of what really happened.
I love the two mysteries. Usually one becomes a subplot, but the author gives equal amount of time to both mysteries and readers get to see the romance sparks for both Christian/Andi and Deckard/Harper. If you love mysteries with lots of red herrings, you’ll love One Wrong Move. There are a lot of suspects with plenty of intriguing characters to choose from. Plus, the romance plays out really well in this story, with all of the characters having secret pasts of their own.
This is an exciting start to the series! Definitely check it out if you are a fan of romantic suspense.
