Cold Shot is the first novel in the Chesapeake Valor series.
Griffin is making his rounds when he discovers a couple
grave robbers. Working at a Civil War
site, he is shocked to find out the remains that have been uncovered aren’t
from the 1860s, they’re much more recent.
Finley is the forensic anthropologist who has been working on the site
and confirms Griffin’s suspicions.
They’re looking at a recent murder victim.
Identifying the body is the main priority, but someone is
willing to kill to make sure that doesn’t happen. A skilled sniper is involved and it quickly
becomes clear that they’re all in danger.
Griffin is put back in touch with friends from his childhood, one of
which he has some unresolved issues with.
Finley and Griffin are also fighting their own demons, making their
mutual attraction complicated.
This story reminded me of the TV show Bones. A forensic
anthropologist and a former sniper teaming up to solve a murder, each trying to
deny their own feelings. I believe if
you like Bones, you’ll love this
book. The story here is complicated, but
not in a bad way. You get to where you
think you know what’s going on only to have the rug pulled out from under you
with another unexpected twist.
Dani Pettrey is dangerous to read. Picking up one of her books can lead to growing
piles of undone laundry and kids scrounging for their own dinner. I finished this book in two days, just
because I couldn’t put it down until I knew what happened. There’s some unresolved issues at the end of
this book that will lead you to the next one, but you can read this alone and still
have a complete story. I can’t wait for
the next one! Great Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
