Publisher's summary

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.

Well done Melinda Leigh

The lowest rating I have ever given a Melinda Leigh book is 4 stars. This new character and new series starts with 5 stars all the way around.

Give Bree a chance while I start book 2!

Exciting and Intriguing

The mystery of the young woman's killer remains until near the end. You want her sister to solve the mystery. You find yourself cheering her on and applauding her abilities. Seeing the love of family she has makes your heart soar. This was a well written and read story. The narrator did well at adapting her voice to each character with believable detail.

I loved it!

The narrator did an amazing job, was very easy to listen to. The story was great. I read a lot of detective novels and this one was great. It was not too predictable and it was refreshing to have a male and female lead that did not fight constantly or fall into bed together. I look forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Good story, predictable. Well narrated.

The character was strong, even though her family past was shadowed with tremendous pain. The narration brought the story to life.
