See Her Die

4.14 AVERAGE


Oh, yes, another good one from this author. Bree and Matt, I love them. And Brody, Marge, and Vadar (the cat).

Some notes I wrote while reading this book:

page 7 - The word "compartmentalizing"

page 32 - I love Brody and he is one smart, tough dog. But Brody is not like the loveable Cht the Jet from Dog On It by Spenser Quinn. Chet is wonderful, smart (to a point), and loveable, but flawed. Love them both.

page 41 - Interesting fact - "A body on land for one week resembled one that had been in the water for two."

page 202 - Grrrr introvert doesn't equal odd.

page 264 - nutter - crazy or eccentric person. I didn't realize this was an actual word.

I am loving this series and can't wait for the next one.

See Her Die is a fantastic mystery that kept me gripped and guessing throughout.

As Bree Taggert whose now sheriff returns two months on from the murder of her sister Erin, to investigate a shooting at a campground where the only witness is a homeless girl whose story seems odd especially when no evidence of a victim or a shooter can be found. But before Bree rules that no crime has been committed she calls on former deputy Matt and his K-9 to track for clues. This, however, leads them to a body that appears not to be connected to the campground scene, and from there the mystery only deepens as more bodies are discovered, clues unearthed, and suspects uncovered.

Meanwhile, Bree is juggling her duties with her new-found
responsibilities of bringing up her niece and nephew who are very much still coming to terms with the loss of their mother and whose murder has brought up many terrible memories for Bree whose own mother was murdered by her father. And with so many interesting characters who really pull at the heart and a few familiar faces, I was genuinely hooked and I honestly can't wait for book three.

Would definitely recommend.

This book is exactly as you expect a murder mystery type of book to be. But in all honesty that is part of what keeps bringing me back to Bree Taggert Series. This book continues to follow Bree as she deals with taking care of her family, the Sherriffs Office, solving murders and her own mental health. This book flowed smoothly and I really enjoyed it.

Takes place two months after first book.  Bree is trying to settle into her new role as sheriff when an odd 911 call is taken.  A girl sees her friend shot but upon investigation there is no body or blood.  Bree is puzzled and she and her deputies find a body, but not the victim they were looking for.  Enlisting Matt's help as a consultant they immerse themselves into a murder that expands to more victims, burglaries, missing college students, a plethora of suspects, and loads of dead ends.  Working together brings Bree and Matt closer as he continues to help her with her fear of dogs.  Not knowing who to trust on her staff has her at odds with the old guard and pursuing a suspect puts Bree, Matt, and her deputies in the crosshairs of a killer who will stop at nothing to continue his hobby.  Fast paced thriller that keeps you on your toes.  Looking forward to the next in the series.
