Still Life By: Dani Pettrey

Back of the Book

Blacklisted in the photography business over a controversial shot, Avery Tate answered an ad for a crime scene photographer. She expected to be laughed at, but crime scene analyst Parker Mitchell hired her outright--and changed her life. But six months ago, when her feelings for Parker became too strong, she left his employ to sort out her heart. 

Now, for the first time, Avery is facing the world that rejected her to attend the gallery opening of a photography exhibit and support her best friend, who modeled for the show. But the only image of her friend is a chilling photo of her posing as if dead--and the photographer insists he didn't take the shot. Worse, her friend can't be found. She immediately calls Parker for help. As Avery, Parker, and his friends in law enforcement dig into the mystery, they find themselves face-to-face with a relentless and deadly threat.

My Thoughts

Perfection!  Dani Pettrey has done an outstanding job at writing a novel that is as close to perfect as you can get.   Still Life has everything, wonderful characters, a plot that was unique and well planned, and don't forget the chilling scenes that kept me on the edge.  Both Avery and Parker are return characters from Cold Shot, as are all the main characters, so you might want to go back and refresh your memory (I know I did). While this book takes place months after the last one ends it never feels like you missed any part of their lives.  The plot was so well planned nothing felt out of place, overlooked or missed.  This is a must read for anyone looking for an exciting entertaining novel with romance and mystery blended in.

I was given a complementary copy of this novel from the publisher.
