Author: Melinda Leigh
Genre: Thriller
Publisher: Amazon Publishing, 2019
Pages: 330
Rating: Highly Recommend
Note: Each book in this series could be read as a stand-alone novel, but I recommend reading each book in order. They're all good.
Synopsis: When a retired sheriff's deputy is shot to death in his home, his troubled teenage stepson, Evan, becomes the prime suspect. Even more incriminating, the boy disappeared from the scene of the crime. Desperate to find her son, Evan's mother begs PI Lance Kruger for help. She knows her son is innocent. Kruger and defense attorney Morgan Dane want to believe that too, but the evidence against the boy is damning. Just as the trail goes cold, another deputy vanishes. His shocking connection to Evan's stepfather throws the investigation into chaos as Lance and Morgan fear the worst. . .that Evan is the killer's new target.
With so many secrets to unravel, will Lance and Morgan find him before it's too late.
Review: The books in this series are one sitting reads for me. I don't even start one until I know I can read it cover to cover.
That said, Leigh backed way off of the romance between Kruger and Dane in latest novel, which is a shame, but I know it's because she came under fire for the graphic scenes between them in the previous novel. However, this was too much the opposite direction. As she did in the first 3 books, she needs to weave their love story into the pages because it gives these fictional characters life.
The thriller side of this was good. Once again I wasn't sure who was behind the murder.
I freaking love this series.
