One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey is a high suspense novel. This is book 1 in the Jeopardy Falls series. Andi used to work for the FBI, but now she investigates art crimes after being framed for mishandling evidence. But her current investigation puts her in danger. This book is a delight from start to finish. Regular readers of romantic suspense will love this book. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey is the first book in the Jeopardy Falls series. This is a riveting romantic suspense novel that had me second guessing who the culprit was until the end. The main characters are written really well and there is a lot of character development over the course of the novel. The suspense was at a 10 for the whole book and I was left on the edge of my seat. It was very hard to put this book down. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Another fantastic read by Tuis go to author for romantic suspense. The bad guys were bad and the good guys perfectly matched with someone to give them hope. Christian and Andi were both likable characters and I liked how they communicated and supported each other throughout all of their crazy circumstances. Looking forward to the next book.

One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey is a great addition to the Christian Suspense genre. I enjoyed the story. It has lots of tense moments and twists to the plot and yet there is a strong thread of faith and family throughout. The story moves quickly as the characters are searching for answers to the present-day thefts as well as the career-ending incident from Andi's past. The book kept me guessing throughout and as this is the first in a series, I look forward to reading the next book. Readers who enjoy suspense and intrigue with romance mixed in will not want to miss One Wrong Move. I was given a complimentary book from NetGalley and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own.

This would make a great movie, or series. This is book one in the Jeopardy Falls series, so what a great place to start. I fell in love with all the main characters in this book and truly can not wait to read more from this series and get to know them better. I love the dialogue, character development and really just everything about this book. It is full of mystery, drama, overcoming, family, romance and so much more.
I loved Christian Macleod and his entire family and working family. Both Christian and Andi Forster must face their past to move forward. I love all the twist and turns in the book. Christian has a loving family who are all involved. I again can not wait to read more. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves action packed, mysterious romance books.

Well-loved and highly respected as an author by yours truly, I will of course read anything that Dani Pettrey writes, even if it's a grocery list. Her new stand-alone novel is wildly more addictive and interesting and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt just how amazing and versatile of an author she is. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough and read long into the night, as I had to find out how it would end. Highly recommended and can't wait to own this one in print! Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher. It was such a treat!

Christian O'Brady is tasked with investigating a series of art heists where he installed the security alarm system. He is joined by Andi Forester, an ex-FBI forensic investigator turned insurance examiner. Together, they seek to find the culprit but find a more complex case that brings up their own emotional scars. This is the first book in the Jeopardy Falls series. Dani Pettrey has opened the series with a cast of intersecting characters complete with a dash of romance.

My thoughts: ONE WRONG MOVE is a kind of creepy read--a series of robberies and murders and you will never guess wwho-dudn-it. Plus the clues...i never would've figured them out. And who was the intended victim? Good grief. A great read, cozy mystery and romance. I was given a copy free and all opinions were my own.

I was reminded of the series, White Collar, where the art thief helps the FBI solve cases, In One Wrong Move, the main character (Christian) is a reformed art thief who installs security systems in high end art galleries and Andi is a former FBI forensics person who is now an insurance investigator. There are two plots to this story, Christian and Andi trying to find out who is behind the heists and stop them and Christian's brother, Deckard and Andi's friend Harper trying to find out if/who framed Andi so that she lost her job with the FBI and why.

This book is intense suspense, never knowing when the bad guys will attack and how far they will go to stop the main characters. Lots of twists and turns, romance, humor, faith, family dynamics, and action packed scenes.

One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey is a hot new suspense book, and for good reason! Art heists, shady pasts, and romance—this book's got it!

Unfortunately, the mystery was a bit more predictable than I prefer and the focus was more on the romance than what I'm looking for in a suspense novel. That said, the suspense factor was real, y'all. It was definitely real!

All in all, though, it's a very unique plot filled with characters you can't help but love! They're very relatable and I really enjoyed watching them work through all of their internal struggles.

In One Wrong Move, Christian O’Brady is called in to help investigate a local gallery heist since he’s the one who installed the security system. A man with a rough childhood and a checkered past, Christian has turned his life around and is trying to help prevent crimes that he might have once committed himself. Andi Forester, an insurance investigator, is also on her way to investigate the heist. A former FBI forensics investigator, Andi is trying to rebuild her life after a scandal left her reputation in shambles. As the two team up to investigate the crime, it quickly becomes clear that this is much more than it first appeared. And trying to get to the bottom of things may turn deadly for Christian and Andi.

Like other Dani Pettrey books I’ve read, I found this book to be well-paced and full of action. There are multiple story lines involved which adds to the depth of the characters. Both Christian and Andi are likable characters, and they have great chemistry. The story has turns that the reader doesn’t see coming. One Wrong Move is also a faith-based story and a clean romance. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and remain a fan of Dani Pettrey’s work.

I have been binging a lot of Dani Pettrey's books, so I was thrilled to see that she released a new one! I enjoyed the characters and that she writes great secondary characters. I also like the mystery side of the story. You won't be disappointed if you pick this story up!

Andi's career has been damaged through false accusations. Will the man who helped her job disappear consider that he made a terrible mistake and freed an guilty man? Andi's partner, Christian, grew up where his family ran constant cons to survive. Can his new job make up and prove to the world that he is better than his upbringing? Andi and Christian each have their secrets but somehow they learn to trust each other. They pray for God's help in finding the bad guys and to stay alive and out of all the danger surrounding them. This book is very exciting and satisfying, as I knew it would be because of the previous suspenseful books by the author. I was very happy to read this book and look forward to the next one the author writes!
I appreciate the opportunity to read this book from the publishers. The thoughts expressed are my own.

"A suspense-filled novel that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Dani Pettrey’s One Wrong Move is a modern-day investigative novel set in the town of Jeopardy Falls. A string of art heists brings Christian O’Brady, part of a private investigative team, and Miranda ‘Andi’ Forester, an insurance investigator and former FBI agent, together. But the story doesn’t end there, as Dani Pettrey has skilfully incorporated two male leads in this novel, effectively merging two investigations together. Deckard, Christian’s brother and private investigator, joins forces with Harper, Andi’s best friend and fellow FBI agent, to investigate what happened to a missing piece of evidence that had exonerated Deckard’s client but led to the loss of Andi’s job in the FBI. Christian’s past catches up to him when he realizes that the string of art heists being investigated are closer to home than he had imagined.


This is a suspenseful novel that is very well written and has a perfectly executed plot. I loved the generous dose of faith where both Andi and Christian are broken people who are learning to trust God every step of the way. The romance in the novel was very good between Andi and Christian, as was the brewing romance between Riley, Christian’s sister and co-PI, and Greyson Chadwick, another PI. I cannot wait to read what happens between Harper and Deckard and how the plot develops around them. Overall, it was a good read with a strong dose of faith, romance, and suspense.

Don’t judge a book by its prologue, first chapter, and full caps on the first page of each chapter. I almost put this book down because of these, but I would have done a great disservice to myself.

Dani Pettrey has been a favorite author of mine for many years, so I was excited to be able to read and review her latest book One Wrong Move. This book is the first of her new series.

What I loved about this book is the great mystery and suspense that Ms. Pettrey does so well in all of her books. I kept thinking I had the villain figured out, then another curveball would be thrown and I was guessing all over again! I enjoyed the budding romance between the main characters, but would have loved more of their backstories to have been a little more developed, as it did play into the ending of the book.

However, the book is very well written and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good, clean Christian mystery/suspense novel with a touch of romance.

This book starts off with a lot of action which both hooked me and confused me. I wasn't sure what was really going on to start. As the story progressed though, I finally gathered what was happening. While I enjoyed the story, there were a couple things that bothered me. I felt like the romantic parts between the two MCs were a bit fast for my liking. I felt like it was all based on outward appearances/PDA. I would've liked more time for them to develop into a relationship where they knew one another longer.

I also felt like the additional back storyline wasn't necessary to the main story and that there wasn't a big enough connection to the two stories. I understand that she was introducing characters and plot lines as the beginning of a series, but it just felt cumbersome with all the additional characters.

I did enjoy the banter between Greyson and Riley. I look forward to their story. I could definitely tell that there is lead up to the next books in the series. I did also enjoy the faith content throughout the book. I will be continuing the series.

Thank you to Net galley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book had all the things I love in it! A salvation story, testimonies of later in life Christians, a romance, a mystery, and even a heist! I loved how the author was able to wrap Christian elements into a mystery. This was my first Christian mystery and I can’t wait to read more!

This is my second book to read by Dani Pettrey and I really enjoyed them both. This book is full of suspense and had several plot twist that kept me reading for more. I really liked all the characters and the family dynamics. Christian, his brother and sister have an interesting past and I liked how it played a part in the plot. The romance between Christian and Andi was sweet and there were hints at other romances I think will come later in the series. The faith elements were light but well done. I enjoyed the fast pace plot and the action scenes. My only complaint was that some of the action sequences were a little unbelievable to me. But it definitely made for a fun, adventurous read!
