Book Description from Goodreads:
Christian O'Brady was pulled into a life of crime at a young age by his con artist parents. Now making amends for his corrupt past, he has become one of the country's foremost security experts. When a string of Southwestern art heists targets one of the galleries Christian secured, he is paired up with a gifted insurance investigator who has her own checkered past.

Andi Forester was a brilliant FBI forensic analyst until one of her colleagues destroyed her career, blaming her for mishandling evidence. She now puts those skills to work investigating insurance fraud, and this latest high-stakes case will test her gift to the limit. Drawn deep into a dangerous game with an opponent bent on revenge, Christian and Andi are in a race against the clock to catch him, but the perpetrator's game is far from finished, and one wrong move could be the death of them both.


My Review:
One Wrong Move is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It had two mysteries and romances in it. The main story was Christian and Andi investigating the art heists. Christian pulled off some art heists as a teenager, so he's great at setting up security to prevent them, yet someone knows exactly how to break through it. Andi once worked crime scene forensics for the FBI, but she was falsely accused of messing up the evidence and putting an innocent man in prison. It's Christian's private investigator brother who ruined her career, but now her best friend (from that same lab) and his brother investigate her claim that she was set up.

The physical danger to the main characters and others kept the suspense high. The characters were smart, complex, and dealt with realistic struggles. I cared about what happened to them. The romantic pairs worked well as a team and built each other up. The characters were Christians, so they prayed to God to help them, and their beliefs affected their choices. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this interesting, suspenseful novel.
