Publisher's summary

The discovery of human remains unearths another nightmare from Sheriff Bree Taggert’s past in a bone-chilling thriller by #1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

Twenty-seven years ago, Sheriff Bree Taggert’s father killed her mother, then himself. Now Bree and her younger brother, Adam, find human bones on the grounds of their abandoned family farm. The remains are those of a man and a woman, both murdered in the same horrible way.

When the investigation determines the murders occurred thirty years ago, Bree’s dead father becomes a suspect, forcing Bree to revisit the brutal night she’s spent most of her life trying to forget. The only other suspect is an unlikely squatter on the Taggert farm who claims to know secrets about Bree’s past. When he mysteriously disappears and Bree’s niece is kidnapped, the cold case heats up.

Bree has stoked the rage of a murderer who’ll do anything to keep his identity - and motives - a secret. To protect everyone she loves, Bree must confront a killer.

Critic reviews

“The kidnapping of Bree’s eight-year-old niece raises the stakes, and the romantic attraction between Bree and Matt adds spice to the fast-paced plot. Readers will cheer Bree every step of the way.”—Publishers Weekly

“Leigh’s experienced writing is apparent in her ability to create a plot that enthralls, characters we care about, and authentic dialogue. While each book works extremely well as a stand-alone mystery, you will want to know more.”—Bookreporter

I really am into this series and author keeps things fresh while maintaining character development. I listened on Audible as I have more listening time than reading time.

Really look forward to the next book #5.

Secrets from the past…

This is one of those series that makes you grab it on release day and listen all the way through! Sheriff Bree Taggert is settling in to her roles as sheriff and single mom to her orphaned nephew and niece. She’s also exploring and rebuilding relationships…with her beau, Matt, and her brother, Adam. When Bree and Adam take a tour of their childhood home, which Adam has bought back from the county, they make a gruesome discovery. This leads to Bree digging up the past, except, someone wants it to remain buried. Follow Bree and Matt as they close in on a killer who is determined to take out any remaining witnesses. Captivating story, which gives more insight into Bree’s childhood. Great narration.
Saved to my ‘relisten’ library!

THIS REVIEW IS FOR BOTH THE AUDIOBOOK AND EBOOK VERSIONS
Great story, wonderful characters, perfect narration. Very intense situations and strong emotions, just absolutely captivating. I recommend this book and I am anxious for the next book in this series.

Loved it. couldn't stop listening, but didn't want it to end.I love that she does not rush the ending. All questions are answered but not hurried. I have fallen in love with her attention to detail. Sweat dripping down their backs seems to be repeated a lot but otherwise I love all of these books in this series!

I’m hooked

I just really love this series and the growth of the characters, the mystery, and the sweet relationship between Matt and Bree.
