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。

Right Behind Her （Bree Taggert #4）By Melinda LeighIf you’ve read any of the first three Bree Taggert books， you know that she has struggled since her parents died in a murder/suicide twenty-seven years ago when she was eight。 Her father’s evil ways have helped form her into the woman she is today， strong， loving， honest， but hesitant to trust enough to form a relationship with a man。When her sister died， she returned to her hometown to raise her sister’s children and is now the county sheriff。 H Right Behind Her （Bree Taggert #4）By Melinda LeighIf you’ve read any of the first three Bree Taggert books， you know that she has struggled since her parents died in a murder/suicide twenty-seven years ago when she was eight。 Her father’s evil ways have helped form her into the woman she is today， strong， loving， honest， but hesitant to trust enough to form a relationship with a man。When her sister died， she returned to her hometown to raise her sister’s children and is now the county sheriff。 Her brother， Adam， who was an infant when his parents died， has always craved a family connection。 When he buys their old， abandoned family home in a bid to find that connection， it is no wonder that Bree is concerned。 She goes with him to face her fears and see the house she hasn’t seen in twenty-seven years。 Of course， things go south from there。 They find an intruder hiding in the barn who attacks Bree and is ultimately arrested。 Then they find old bones on the property belonging to a man and woman who were murdered in a gruesome way thirty years ago， perhaps by her father。This is a fast-moving story with many suspects， but I had no trouble keeping up。 This is an exciting story that had me suspecting just about everyone。 There is a little bit of romance here as Bree learns to trust the ever-dependable Matt， but the true story is the crazy， heart-pounding race to find the killer or killers。My thanks to NetGalley and Montlake for the chance to read this exciting book in exchange for my honest opinion。 I gave it four stars！ Publication Date: 9/14/21 。。。more

Sheriff Bree Taggert's family home holds nothing but bad memories and she struggles to understand why her brother bought it when it went up for auction。 Visiting the farm house for the first time in almost three decades Bree only agrees to enter the building to help Adam learn more about their notorious family's history。 After discovering bones on their land Bree finds herself in charge of a murder investigation with her late father as the main suspect。 Having spent almost her entire life lockin Sheriff Bree Taggert's family home holds nothing but bad memories and she struggles to understand why her brother bought it when it went up for auction。 Visiting the farm house for the first time in almost three decades Bree only agrees to enter the building to help Adam learn more about their notorious family's history。 After discovering bones on their land Bree finds herself in charge of a murder investigation with her late father as the main suspect。 Having spent almost her entire life locking away the trauma of her childhood， Bree knows the time has come when， to do her job properly， she will finally have to face memories she would rather forget。 This is the fourth installment of Melinda Leigh's latest blockbuster series this time featuring Sheriff Bree Taggert and her family。 Although the main protagonist she is surrounded by a cast of now familiar and reassuring characters to help her fight the growing list of seriously disturbing antagonists。 This time Bree and brother Adam's family history is brought back into sharp focus but with a slightly different slant to give it a new perspective。 Once again the investigation is mixed with a home life Bree is still getting used to and the whole experience made for an exciting and revealing read。 There are at least two more books in this series and if they are as good as this we are in for a treat。 Hopefully it will mean more chances to visit with previous series favourites which is always a pleasure。 I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own。 Once again Melinda Leigh has written a highly recommended blinder！ 。。。more

Sheriff Bree Taggert is spent a long time trying to get over her family’s horrific past。 When bones are found on her childhood home’s land， she realizes that there might be more tragedy than she originally thought。 I don’t know how Melinda Leigh does it， but each book gets better than the last。 I could not put this book down， and if I hadn’t had to work， I wouldn’t have。 The characters and plot are complex。 The writing draws you in， and you feel like you are there with the main characters。 Addin Sheriff Bree Taggert is spent a long time trying to get over her family’s horrific past。 When bones are found on her childhood home’s land， she realizes that there might be more tragedy than she originally thought。 I don’t know how Melinda Leigh does it， but each book gets better than the last。 I could not put this book down， and if I hadn’t had to work， I wouldn’t have。 The characters and plot are complex。 The writing draws you in， and you feel like you are there with the main characters。 Adding in a surprise cameo from a Morgan Dane series regular was just the icing on the cake。 I am now going to impatiently wait for the next book in the series to come out！ 。。。more
