Publisher's summary

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

The mysterious death of a local teen leads to a hunt for a killer in the sixth Widow’s Island novella by #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

On Widow’s Island, the secrets are dark...and everybody has one. So when Deputy Tessa Black responds to a call about an explosion in a quiet neighborhood, she gets more than she bargained for: the body of a teen who went missing weeks ago.

Until recently, Gavin was living in a reputable foster home. But now that he is found dead - Tessa can’t help but wonder if sinister forces are at play. Who would want to hurt him, and why?

With the help of her partner, Park Ranger Logan Wilde, Tessa tries desperately to decipher what happened to Gavin before another life is cut short. Someone on Widow’s Island knows the explosive truth. Will Tessa find the answers she needs before someone else turns up dead?

Relaxing mystery with enough happening to keep me awake and thinking as I am listening.

Really want more!

I really like the series but there is more to know. I felt like the new characters were not very developed and there was more to the story. Many questions left without answers.

Another great case

I really enjoyed this one. It is well written and pulled me in from beginning to end with some twists. I love getting to see the developments with our characters from story to story but they can be read as a standalone. This was another interesting case.

Great story just ok narrator

Again. I love Melinda Leigh & Kendra Elliot and I love it when they team up, BUT this narrator is just “ok”….these would be so much better with a different narrator.

LOGAN!

Definitely prefer Tessa's story over Cate's. Finally, a spoonful more of Logan. Must. Have. More. Logan!

Entertaining

Very good short story for walking and/or working outside. But, how many people can die on this small island before there are no more inhabitants?

Best Short Story Writers Around

I just love being able to sit down and engulf a short story in one setting! I just absolutely love this series and these authors!

Melinda Leigh was able to take a short story and give you a mystery that you couldn’t guess in just two short hours!

Remarkable...simply remarkable!

A Broken Bone

This is the sixth installment in this series and they all sorta intertwine just by characters alone. This one involves foster siblings (not related) and parents. One of the boys was reported missing and when he is found murdered the parents come under suspicion. Everyone thought the parents were the best foster parents until suddenly the tables turn and we discover it was one of the boys. A squatter took his picture and when he was caught up to all the stories fall apart.
