by Patricia Bradley (Goodreads Author)
In an effort to get her security consulting business off the ground, Kelsey Allen has been spending a lot of time up in the air, rappelling down buildings and climbing through windows to show business owners their vulnerabilities to thieves. When she is hired to pose as a conservator at the Pink Palace Museum in order to test their security weaknesses after some artifacts go missing, she's ecstatic. But when her investigative focus turns from theft to murder, Kelsey knows she's out of her league--and possibly in the cross hairs. When blast-from-the-past Detective Brad Hollister is called in to investigate, Kelsey may find that he's the biggest security threat yet . . . to her heart.
Crackling with romantic tension and laced with intrigue, this suspenseful story from award-winning author Patricia Bradley will keep readers guessing--and looking over their shoulders.

Leona's Review:
This book had me from the beginning. There is a mystery of why artifacts have disappeared from the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis. The museum is expecting an Egyptian death mask and Kelsey Allen has been hired by Rutherford Security to find the security leak. The curator is on maternity leave and Kelsey fills her spot.
A murder occurs so there is more to the story than the missing pieces from the museum. Also a box of bones are delivered to the museum.
She finds she is working with Brad Hollister of the Memphis Police Department; they know each other. Brad is in the cold case division at this time.
Another mystery is the disappearance of Kelsey's father at the same time some artifacts disappeared.
Kelsey uses her talent as an expert rock climber as part of her investigations. This really added to the story and excitement.
There is plenty of mystery and characters so the reader has to try to figure out who is doing what.
It is a clean Christian romance. Dedicated to "To our heroes in blue who put their lives on the line 24/7 to keep us safe and to their families."
Acknowledgements to "As always, to God, who gives me the words" She also acknowledges her friends and family, her editors, her agent, the art, editorial, marketing and sales teams, Sgt. Joe Stark of the MPD, and the wonderful women at the Pink Palace Museum and to her awesome readers. " Patricia Bradley did put names of people in the acknowledgements but I did not add them.
I received a complimentary copy from LibraryThing and the author, Patricia Bradley. The copy is an Advance Reading Copy (ARC) and was not the final text. I could not find any typos and felt this was great as it is written. I give it a 5 star rating and look forward to other books by Patricia Bradley.
