Catch Her Death – Melinda Leigh

Sheriff Bree Taggert and her K-9 officer w/ her dog, Greta, are attempting to serve an arrest warrant on one of the local bad boys, Travis Ekin. Upon serving the warrant on the family home, Travis’ Mom denies his presence. But, despite his best efforts to hide, K9 Deputy Greta gets her man.  As they walk him out to the waiting patrol car, Travis’ mother whispers an ominous comment meant for Bree to hear. 

Meanwhile, Bree’s best friend and roommate, Dana Romano, is gearing up for a date with Dr. Kent McFadden in a neighboring town. When she arrives at his home, she finds the front door ajar, and surprises an intruder, who knocks her down the stairs in Kent’s home, before he tries to strangle her. But Dana is no stranger to physical combat and frees herself, the intruder fleeing. She finds Kent with a gunshot wound to the chest and attempts to render aid, while she awaits the police. But who would want to kill Kent, a plastic surgeon – and why? 

After Dana is examined in the ED, and admitted with a concussion, Bree’s nephew calls to tell her there’s an intruder on the property. Bree and Matt, her investigator and significant other race to the house to ensure the safety of the kids, Dana & Kent’s assailant remains at large. With no trace of the shooter, and no other leads, suspicion turns to Dana. 

With the Ekin family vowing revenge, and intruders on Bree’s property, it soon becomes apparent that no one is safe. But who is the intruder, and why is he writing messages about dirty cops on Bree’s barn. It is the Ekin family?  Or someone else altogether?  And is it Bree they’re after…or is it Dana? 

This is another great police procedural series with a great cast of characters, and a strong female protagonist. Maybe it’s due to growing up with Nancy Drew, The Dana Girls & Trixie Belden, but I just love these series and will be waiting anxiously for the next release!  If you are a fan of Lisa Regan, Rita Herron or Kendra Elliott, you’ll love this series too!
