Still Life by Dani Pettrey

From the publisher:
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.

Dani Pettrey is a master suspense writer.  She keeps you guessing and wondering from the beginning until the end.  Her Christian suspense-romance novels are all addicting to read.  This book is great, but start with the first book in the series, Cold Shot, because it will help you understand more about the characters. 

Avery and Parker were some of my favorite characters from the first book in this series so I was really excited to read this book that focused more on them.  I love how Avery had to deal with her past and the conversations she and Parker had.  Often we define ourselves by our past but that's not how Christ sees us, nor how we need to see ourselves as we are made new in Christ.

The plotline was great and I cannot wait to read more by Dani Pettrey.

I received this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review, all opinions are my own.
