About the Book:
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.
My Review:
Usually books with this type of cover or writing style or title just arent my thing, but I decided to give this one a try any way. I was pleasantly surprised. Alexis Stone just had to step into this new town right when a serial killer abounds. So I guess she will be far from bored. She has lots of work to do, already.
The chess piece on the cover is part of the story. Not the whole story but it does play into it. Alexis has big plans for herself and if she cracks this case it could possibly catapult her to bigger and better things. Jesus was woven throughout so I really liked that about the story.
This story wasnt all about the main idea for the book. It really let us in on who Alexis Stone was and I enjoyed that, as well.
