Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh
4.5
4.5 stars.
Sheriff Bree Taggert is called to respond to a murder, where she quickly realizes the crime was not a burglary gone wrong. A couple was executed in bed, with their teenage daughter left as the sole survivor. Bree teams up with investigator Matt Flynn to work the case, but the more they uncover, the more questions they have. As Bree and Matt sift through the couple’s past, a tangled web of deception is revealed, making the truth harder to see.
It’s no secret that I love this series – Bree Taggert it easily one of my favorite main characters in a police procedural. She’s relatable, kind, brave, and always goes after what’s right. Her character progression over the course of the series is very well done; I’ve loved seeing her character grow, learn to love and be loved, and learn to rely on the support system she’s created around her.
I love the relationships Bree has developed over the course of the series. Her relationship with Matt warms my heart. I would have loved to see more of her family life in this book, including her niece, nephew, and Dana, but I’ll take whatever small snippets I can get. I also enjoyed seeing the relationship Bree shares with local politician, Madeline Jager, develop in a positive way.
The side characters included in this story were mostly members of the sheriff’s department, but I enjoyed seeing how they work together and their inner reactions. There are a few chapters in different POVs which I really enjoyed.
The plot of TRACK HER DOWN is compelling, complex, and features many twists and turns. It’s also fast-paced and kept me hooked from beginning to end. Leigh’s books always feature twists that I don’t see coming and this one was no different. I loved how everything tied together in the end and will be on the lookout for the next book in this series!
I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher, Montlake, of this advanced digital copy for the opportunity to read this novel in exchange for an honest review! All opinions expressed are my own.
