I stumbled upon Melinda Leigh’s Bree Taggert series last year and now I just feel like I need to binge read the rest of them.
Personal opinion: Bree is a very likable character and I just think she’s a badass for being so young and taking on the bad people haha. She’s very relatable because she has limits and she makes it known that she has limits to certain things… like her relationship status.
I’m glad Bree and Matt Flynn’s relationship isn’t cliche, like immediately jump each other’s bones cliche. It’s just slow and normal lol. Again, relatable for some.
I enjoyed the suspense in this one as much as I did the first one… and now I’m ready for book #3!

I absolutely love this series, and this author. I love that the main characters of her series are strong women. Whether it is an attorney, a detective or this one a sheriff. Bree is the new Sheriff, after taking over for a corrupt one, she is rebuilding her department.
However, she doesn't have time to hire as a shooting call was placed, and a girl turns up missing. The witness Alyssa is homeless and been squatting at a campground, and she saw everything happen. When looking for clues, they happen upon a body floating in the lake. They are not sure if the two cases are related. A former investigator Matt Flynn took a leave when he and his K-9 partner was shot while on duty. Bree hires him as a consultant, and they begin the chase to find out just who this boy is they found in the lake. When more bodies are found, they wonder just how safe Alyssa is and just what happened that night at the campground.

SEE HER DIE by Melinda Leigh is the second book in the Bree Taggert romantic suspense/police procedural series and the second book that I have read by this author. This is largely a police procedural / crime thriller with the hint of a romance to come. This book takes place a couple of months after the end of the first book in the series and three weeks after Bree becomes the sheriff of Randolph County in upstate New York. In book two she is called to a shooting at Grey Lake campground. However, there is no victim, no blood and no shooter to confirm the allegations of the sole witness. Once again, Bree calls former investigator Matt Flynn and his K-9 for help. What is going on? Was there really a shooting or is the witness lying?
Bree and Matt are both sympathetic characters that you can root for. They definitely have flaws and virtues and their goals are clear and influence the plot. Their motivations seem believable. The secondary characters add some growth and dimension in book two and the relationships between the characters were believable and not contrived. The storyline is engaging, suspenseful, and includes some very tense scenes. Themes include balancing work, family and other relationships, homelessness, murder, ridiculing others, PTSD, dealing with grief and much more.
Overall, this is an excellent book that has twists, tension, red herrings, relatable characters and a winter setting in a largely rural and small town county. If you are expecting a lot of romance or instant love in this novel, it is not there. If you are expecting a solid series that will have mysteries, suspense, crime, action, and eventually some romance, then this is a series that I can recommend. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. This was a solid 4 star read for me.
