Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery Book) by Alice Bienia- 5 out of 5 stars
This was a quick read for me but I loved all of the action and excitement. Jorja traveled to Istanbul to meet up with her bestfriend Gabrielle only to find out later that she had been abducted. Torn between who Jorja could trust in a foreign country and who she couldn’t, she has to find her friend. I found this book to be the perfect little mystery thriller. I recommend this book.

Knight in Peril may be book #6 in this series, but I definitely think you could read it as a standalone, although I highly recommend that you read them all just to have a little background and insight into who Jorja is and the series as a whole is just fantastic. The suspense alone will pull you right in and you will not want to put it down. Jorja is a strong feisty lead character and relatable. She finds herself traveling foreign country (Istanbul) to meet her best friend Gabriella only to find her missing. Lots of lies, secrets and corruption and more as she is now in a race against time to find her friend. With danger lurking at every corner, you will have to read it to find out if they make it out or not. A definite page turner with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Knight In Peril is the sixth book in the Jorja Knight Mystery series by Alice Bienia. This is a very engrossing mystery with plenty of tension, suspense, action, adventure, danger, dramatic developments, crime and investigation, secrets, lies, greed, corruption, a time crunch, agendas, high stakes, abduction, friendship, and a savvy private investigator. To add an extra element of interest to the story, we are whisked off to Istanbul as this intriguing mystery unravels. We follow Jorja Knight, who we met in the previous books, as she is thrust into a search for her missing friend. They were supposed to meet, but Gabriella has disappeared. Now Jorja is left with the difficult task of searching for her friend in a foreign city with millions of inhabitants to make the task even more difficult. Add in the corruption, secrets, lies, and the urgency of the situation- and Jorja might just be facing her most difficult case yet- one that has hit too close to home for comfort. What happens makes for a gripping read. Even though this is the sixth book in the series, you can read it as a standalone without feeling like you are missing anything. Having said that though, the other books in the series make for great reading too- and contain their own intriguing mysteries for Jorja to solve. They also provide more character information, background stories, and other interesting details which, all combined, will definitely enhance your appreciation of this book, and the series as a whole. Looking forward to seeing what Jorja gets up to next! Happy Reading…

“A Knight in Peril” by Alice Bienia is a gripping and thrilling mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The story centers around PI Jorja Knight, who arrives in Istanbul only to discover that her best friend Gabriella has vanished. As Jorja delves deeper into the case, she is thrust into a dangerous world of lies, secrets, and corruption.
One of the strongest aspects of this book is its atmospheric setting in Istanbul. Bienia’s vivid descriptions bring the ancient city to life, immersing readers in its rich history and mysterious allure. The author has clearly done her research, and the attention to detail shines through in the way she portrays Istanbul’s dark underbelly. Readers will feel as though they are walking the streets alongside Jorja, navigating the twists and turns of the city. And humor along the way, for example, a character who speaks Turkish and English can’t think of a “bucket list” and calls it a “pail list,” lightening the mood. (Side note- I also learned about another version of Cliff’s Notes, called Cole’s Note!).
The pacing of the story is excellent, with Bienia expertly balancing moments of high tension with quieter, introspective scenes. The sense of urgency is palpable as Jorja races against time to find her missing friend. The plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end, making it a truly gripping mystery thriller.

Knight In Peril is book 5 of the Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery Series. The books can be read as standalones but start from the beginning as you gain so much insight into our lead character Jorja Knight. This suspenseful tale pulls you in to the thrilling mystery and dangerous world that Jorja finds herself ensnared in right from the start. It is a dark and gritty world of secrets and lies, gluttony and bribery, corrupt politicians and people who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Jorja Knight is independent, feisty, a no-nonsense straight shooter but even she is faces fear as she finds herself in a race against time in the dark underbelly of a foreign country to find the one person that means the world to her before time runs out. Knight In Peril is a fast-paced, page-turner that had me staying up reading late into the night. Will they escape with their lives, or will they both be lost to a world where no one cares? If you are looking for a good book to read, then look no further than this series.
