Publisher's Summary

Dark secrets surface in the third Widow’s Island novella by number one Wall Street Journal best-selling author Melinda Leigh.

When a body washes up on the state park beach, Deputy Tessa Black’s experience as a former Seattle detective tells her that the death was not an accident. All evidence points to another murder on the remote island.

The victim is a local contractor with a shockingly long list of enemies. The more locals Tessa interviews, the more people she suspects - from the bitter ex-wife and estranged current wife to disgruntled former clients and employees. They all have different reasons to want him dead.

As Tessa’s investigation heats up, arson and a vicious assault convince her the killer is desperate to hide his crime - and that she’d better solve the case before he claims another victim.

Good suspense

This book has an enjoyable setting and enjoyable characters. The suspense is good. The narration is good but not as enjoyable for me as some.

love this series

I like that these stories are short, and that there is a whole series!

Melinda Leigh Never Disappoints

I'm enjoying this interesting series of small, separate stories. Featuring the residents of a place called Widow's Island, the full series will not only tell a story in small bites but will combine to tell a much larger tale. Short stories are not usually my go to, but I love the author, so I gave it a shot. So glad I did.

Great book

Another great book in this series of widows , and the murders and , .Read is the sheriff of this small island and she seems to have her hands full with murder and all the suspects.I really enjoyed this book and the series.

Love Tessa's story!

Tessa has grit, determination and honor. The narrator brought a great, interesting story to life.

Clean Suspenseful romance

Now I usually like a little steam with my romance but this was still excellent. Melinda Leigh knows how to create a scene and make it come alive in your mind. These books, I feel,should definitely be read in order. It helps to know the history of at least one storyline. I will be reading the next one.

Nice and short

Perfect length for a couple of hikes. These Widows Island stories are very entertaining. They are solved quickly by interesting characters.

Great job

Such an intriguing story and the narration was perfectly done. I enjoyed plot. Characters are very easy to enjoy. I recommend this book.

Good series

I'm eager to find out what happened to a childhood friend of the main characters. They are getting closer to the answer. I must keep reading this series!

Thrills, Fear, and Finding True Love

As usual, Leigh writes an excellent mystery with clues you really need to watch for if you really want to test your sleuthing skills. Also as usual, Leigh writes a powerful and intense romantic component.
