Reseñas de la Crítica

“Not since Walt Longmire have I been so enthralled by a character! Sheriff Bree Taggert is tough, flawed, and I want to see more of her!”—Debra Webb, USA Today bestselling author of Trust No One

“Fast paced and riveting, with the complex and compelling lead homicide detective, Bree Taggert…destined to be a hit series.”—Karin Slaughter, international bestselling author

Both interesting and frustrating at same time

I love the progression of personal and family life. Found myself frustrated by Sheriff Taggert's reaction to some situations that could have been resolved more easily with quicker simple actions. But that would have resolved some minor villains in press and maybe other agencies.

Part of those frustrations might be a tendency of mine as I get deeper into longer book series.

Great characters, outstanding narration

I love her easy writing style that makes for an interesting & comfortable listen or read. The narrator has to be one of my favorites of all time, great at different voices and different inflection of those voices without distracting from the storyline

Another good story

It’s an enjoyable next book in the series where Bree has to balance work, family and love. She has to deal with a case with a previous deputy.
