Blind Spot

October 9, 2017
Readers are dropped into a close-knit group of federal agents in Pettrey’s heart-pounding third installment of her Chesapeake Valor series (after Still Life.) FBI agent Declan Grey is slowly piecing together clues to what he believes is an imminent terrorist attack. When the FBI’s new crisis counselor (and Declan’s secret crush), Tanner Shaw, becomes attached to his investigation, their feelings for each other find opportunity to blossom in the midst of the looming fear. Both agents rely on their personal Christian faith to guide and strengthen them, a character quality handled deftly by Pettrey. Eventually, Declan and Tanner’s investigation begins to align with that of their comrades Griffin and Parker (and others from previous books in the series). With non-stop action, Pettrey’s entertaining novel sweeps the reader into a high-stakes plot that endangers the country as well as recurring series characters. A well-placed cliff-hanger ensures that readers will be back for the next installment. Agent: Janet Grant, Books and Such.

Pettrey (Still Life, 2017) continues the Chesapeake Valor series. FBI agent Declan Grey finds himself in the middle of a murder-missing persons investigation when what he really wants to be doing is hunting down a terrorist threat. After an attempt on their lives, Declan teams up with crisis counselor Tanner Shaw, a former sniper and a very kick-ass and feminine woman. They find themselves strongly drawn to each other, but both being conservative evangelical Christians, they find strength in prayer when under fire. A cliffhanger for fans of the series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
