A homicide detective’s violent family history repeats itself in #1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh’s novel of murder, secrets, and retribution.
For more than twenty-five years, Philadelphia homicide detective Bree Taggert has tucked away the nightmarish childhood memories of her parents’ murder-suicide…Until her younger sister, Erin, is killed in a crime that echoes that tragic night: innocent witnesses and a stormy marriage that ended in gunfire. There’s just one chilling difference. Erin’s husband, Justin, has vanished.
Bree knows how explosive the line between love and hate can be, yet the evidence against her troubled brother-in-law isn’t adding up. Teaming up with Justin’s old friend, former sheriff’s investigator and K-9 handler Matt Flynn, Bree vows to uncover the secrets of her sister’s life and death, as she promised Erin’s children. But as her investigation unfolds, the danger hits close to home. Once again, Bree’s family is caught in a death grip. And this time, it could be fatal for her.
I love it when a favorite author begins a new series!
Bree Taggart misses a phone call from her sister Erin. The message tells Bree that her sister needs her, so when she is unable to reach her, she heads to her sister's house. When she gets there, a nightmare is waiting. A nightmare that flashes back to her childhood and raises old memories of her parent's deaths when she was 8 years old. Now her one thought is to find her sister's killer. The only suspect is her brother-in-law Justin. But his best friend Matt, who found Erin, doesn't believe that Justin is a killer.
Together they search for clues to who killed Erin. With unofficial support from the sheriff's department, they dive right in. As time passes and they are no closer to finding the murdered, Bree gets increasingly impatient. And when she starts to get too close, the killer decides that she may be a threat he needs to eliminate.
A rock solid plot, with enough twists and turns to make you think, this book is a fantastic start to the Bree Taggart series. I cannot wait for book two!
