Author Bio:
I 
have always wanted to be a writer but it took me many years to finally pursue a career in writing. I have had several other careers along the way. I was a model for ten years, working in NYC, Chicago and San Francisco. I worked as a teller, a sales clerk and receptionist.
At an early age Terri Reed discovered the wonderful world of fiction and declared she would one day write a book. Now she is fulfilling that dream and enjoys writing for Steeple Hill. She is an active member of both Romance Writers of America and American Christian Fiction Writers. She resides in the Pacific Northwest with her college-sweetheart husband, two wonderful children and an array of critters. When not writing, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, gardening and playing with her dogs.
Joint Investigation is a book in the Northern Border Control by Terri Reed. I really enjoyed this serial killer mystery suspense. The opening will capture your attention and keep it throughout the chase to find the serial killer. Don’t think that because this book is only 200+ pages that Terri will not surprise you and keep your heart racing. Our female lead is Samantha (Sam), an FBI agent on a mission to solve the murder of a friend. She has been tracking the serial killer for six months. Until she unconventionally meets Royal Canadian Mounted Police inspector Drew, no one has been taking her findings seriously. Drew takes it seriously and decided to assist in the hunt for the serial killer she has dubbed Birdman. Both characters are extremely likeable. Although typically difficult to accomplish, Terri did an excellent job of balancing Drew’s desire to protector Sam and respect her skills as an FBI agent. You are cheering them on as a couple the whole time.
