My thoughts: DEAD DRIFT is the fourth and final book in Ms. Pettrey's Chesapeake Valor series, mostly set in Maryland. These characters do get around. Fans will want to read the books in order, Cold Shot, Still Life, Blind Spot and DEAD DRIFT since it is all the same team and there is at least one investigation in common for all four books.
DEAD DRIFT's primary storyline was about chemical warfare that was planned to be launched on USA soil. I won't lie and say this was easy reading. A lot of the chemical talk went right over this readers head, and I was somewhat confused by a lot of it. I also tended to skim when they began talking shop. I am a business major, not a chemist.
It was an exciting race against time as they discovered when it was all planned to go down, and one wasn't sure who they could trust, who they couldn't and who wasn't what they seemed.
With the primary suspense, you knew who did it and why, and even how. You even knew when. But you didn't know where and it was a pretty heavy question. If was even factored in there but since this is the last book in the series it had to have a happy ever after, so that worry was not as heavy as it could've been.
The secondary suspense that tied the four books together (in addition to the same team) you don't know who or why or when or where or anything except how and it was a huge issue.
Ms. Pettrey is an award-winning author of romantic suspense for good reason. I fell in love with her writing with her first book set in Alaska and have read everything she's written since.
I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

I tend to skim over chemistry stuff in a book, too.
