Publisher's Summary

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 forced out of the department.

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.

Enjoying...but

I am really enjoying this series, but it seems that with each new book there is an increase in the amount of swearing, I don't mind a little swearing, but the use of the harshest swear words is jolting to me. Lazy writing, I think.

Bree Taggart is a character you need to know

I first listened to a Melinda Leigh book when I saw a free book in my membership, and now, can't get enough! The Bree Taggart Series is so good and the characters are believable and relatable.

Melinda Leigh is a wonderful author, who writes in such detail, you don't have to strain your imagination to picture the scene. I highly recommend her books.
