I'm already a big fan of Melinda Leigh, and to say I jumped at the opportunity to review this book on Netgalley, was an understatement.
I've now read it twice, cover to cover, along with the odd page over and over (It's easy to get distracted with the kids at home full-time).
Leigh writes strong women. Thankfully, not the men hating kind, but women we respect and wish were our best friends and will root for till the end. And Bree Taggert is no exception, I'm totally enthralled with her already and her old partner, Dana.
There is a familiarity with this story, that instantly draws you in. This by no means takes away from the novel, but allows you to relax and enjoy the story as it unfolds.
There is not too much relaxing to do though, as the unravels and keep you on the edge of you seat, heart in mouth as you wait for Bree and Matt to make their discoveries and solve the case.
Bree's promise to her family makes you sniffle, it's such a childish act, that everyone has at some point done and can relate to solemnly.
This is a heart and soul book, don't read if you are hoping to sleep soon. As Bree accepts her knew role, I am one who looks forward to how she will handle that choice going and how she will be tested.
If you enjoy a good crime novel but want something a bit extra, then this is not just the book but the author for you.
5/5
