Counter Attack

A Pearl River Novel, Book 1

By: Patricia Bradley

Narrated by: Ann Richardson

A brand new heart-stopping series from a USA Today bestselling author

No sooner has Alexis Stone been sworn in as the interim sheriff for Russell County, Tennessee, when a serial killer dubbed the Queen's Gambit Killer strikes again—this time in her hometown. Pearl Springs is just supposed to be a temporary stop along the way to Alex's real dream: becoming the first female police chief of Chattanooga. But the killer's calling card—a white pawn and a note with a chess move printed on it—cannot be ignored.

Pearl Springs chief of police Nathan Landry can't believe that his high school sweetheart Alexis (he refuses to call her Alex) is back in town, and he can't help wanting to protect the woman he never stopped loving. But as the danger mounts and the killer closes in, can Nathan come through on the promises he makes to himself to bring a killer to justice before it's too late?

The plot

Well constructed plot. Kept me guessing till the end!
Not too much violence, kept on reading till the finish!

WOW, just wow!!

I loved it! Twists and turns, kept me guessing and that's what any good mystery should do right!? Ann Richardson's narration is great too! Such a blessing to have good clean storylines from Ms. Bradley! Thank you!

Difficult to finish

I desperately wanted to like this book and I am usually pretty tolerant of subpar narrators but this was so difficult to get through. I think the story would be much better with a different narrator. I absolutely hate to be so critical but this is the first audio book that was almost impossible for me to get through.

Good start

A excellent start to the series. Had a lot of twists that I did not see coming, particularly at the end. I can’t wait to see how the characters continue to develop and what else happens in Pearl Springs and Russell County.

very religious

very religious ok story dosnt really flow very good would recomend for seourous mystery reader
