Standoff by Patricia Bradley Book Review


ABOUT THE BOOK

The Natchez Trace National Parkway stretches 444 miles from Nashville to Natchez, the oldest town on the Mississippi River. It's the perfect road for a relaxed pleasure drive. Unfortunately for park ranger Luke Fereday, lately it's being used to move drugs. Sent to Natchez to infiltrate the organization at the center of the drug ring, Luke arrives too late to a stakeout and discovers the body of his friend, park ranger John Danvers.
John's daughter Brooke is determined to investigate her father's murder, but things are more complicated than they first appear, and Brooke soon finds herself the target of a killer who will do anything to silence her. Luke will have his hands full keeping her safe. But who's going to keep him safe when he realizes he's falling--hard--for the daughter of the man he failed to save?

BOOK REVIEW

"Standoff" is book number one in Patricia Bradley's new series called Natchez Trace Park Rangers. Standoff follows Brooke Danvers, who long-awaited transfer to law enforcement park ranger. She finally following her father's footsteps. Her father, John is not only her father but also soon to be her boss. She finds her father dead. They told her it was suicide but she knows her father wouldn't do something like that neither does Brooke's neighbor, Luke Fereday, who lives next door to her father's home. Luke is undercover for a drug case and promised Brooke he will help her figure out who did it. 
The story takes place in Natchez, Mississippi. "Standoff" contains many characters making it hard to keep everyone straight. Bradley did a great job of keeping you on your toes. Its complex plot and has you consistently guessing who the villain(s) is. 
There is some romance in the story but isn't the main focus. Brooke is strong, brave, kind, independent, and smart.  She is a character you fall in love with. 
"Standoff" has many genres in it. Everything from thriller, mystery, suspense, and is packed with action. There is minimal faith preaching. This book is a page-turner.  I couldn't put it down. I ended up reading it in one sitting because I had to find out what happened.  I can't wait for the next books in this series to come out. 

I received a complimentary copy from Revell for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. These are my honest opinions.
