From Goodreads: Sheriff Bree Taggert’s downfall is part of a killer’s cunning design in #1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh’s novel of murder, lies, and revenge.
Called to an isolated farm to check on an elderly widow, Sheriff Bree Taggert finds a brutal double homicide. One of the victims is Eugene Oscar, the bitter and corrupt former deputy she recently fired.
Working with criminal investigator Matt Flynn, Bree discovers that she isn’t the only one who had a troubling history with Eugene. But someone doesn’t want Bree digging up the past. She becomes the target of a stranger’s sick and devious campaign calculated to destroy her reputation, career, family, and new relationship with Matt. To make matters worse, she’s the prime suspect in Eugene’s murder.
When her chief deputy goes missing while investigating the case, Bree refuses to back down. She won’t let him become the next victim. His life and her future depend on finding a killer nursing a vengeful rage.
My
Thoughts: Bree Taggert is
an amazing character. I love trying to
figure out how her brain is working while she tries to solve the crime. There are times I can see where she is
heading and other times I have no idea what would happen next. The book is written to keep the reader on their
toes, keep them guessing at what would happen next, and turning page after page
unable to stop.
The mystery,
the crime was the main part of the story but I also love the romance. Matt and Bree have kept their relationship
quiet. I enjoyed that they stepped out
in the public some and that they were not shy about telling each other their
feelings. I like how Matt does not
overstep while working with Bree, he supports in her in job, works side by side
with her, and lets her do her dangerous job.
Bree is perfect for Matt and Matt
is perfect for Bree.
Melinda Leigh
is a must-read author for me. I love
this series and am always excited when I know a new book is coming out. I recommend reading any of the books in this
series but they can be read as a standalone.
**Thank you
NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
