“Veiled Threat” is the sixth and final book in the Jennifer Grey Mysteries series written by Jerry B. Jenkins. The story was released in 1985. Jennifer is writing her syndicated column on her wedding day, something she never thought she would be doing. She is also kidnapped, another thing she never thought would happen. On her wedding day, or otherwise. The four kidnappers (who are also hostile terrorists) want national attention for what they are doing and what they believe in. Part of their plan involves using Jennifer’s column to get it. Did she put enough clues in the column she was forced to write at gunpoint to tell people where she is and what happened to her?

Some readers enjoyed the stories, but felt that there should have been more of them. They enjoyed the character development, and they felt like throughout reading the stories, they were able to get to know Jennifer. They also felt like they cheered her on as she solved each and every one of her mysteries. Some felt the need to keep reading to find out who the killer was, and they were always kept guessing throughout the story. The plot wound up proving them wrong at each and every turn. Readers enjoyed the author’s ability to bring a realistic quality to the stories. Some readers found that it was easy to put themselves in the characters’ shoes throughout the story. The stories were absolute page turners.

Some did not like the pacing of the stories and felt they were too predictable. One reader did not like how abrupt the ending of the first book was. A few readers did not like this book and prefer to read the other books that Jenkins has written. The book has little suspense and weak plot in some people’s opinion. Some did not like the way the stories took a long time to get to the important part of the story and then suddenly ended.

There are six stories in the series, that were written in the 1980s, from 1983 until 1985.

The books are recommended for people who like “Margo Mysteries”, the “Intervention” books, and the “Zion” series.
