love this series, love this book. Thank you Netgalley for an ARC. This story starts out with a major crime just like the others, but the process of solving the murders gets twisty and can't book the book down good. Bree is a favorite character of mine--although if I lived in a small town in RL w this many murders etc. I would have moved for sure. lol

Another fantastic Bree taggart story. They get better with each book.
A double murder, a teenage witness and survivor. A mix you don’t want. But is Claire all that she seems.
Really enjoyed this book. Author Melinda Leigh has a real knack for drawing you in, but not giving away her twist.
Loved it. Thankyou

Sheriff Bree Taggart has another murder to solve. This time it is double homicide that their teenage daughter finds their bodies. They were several twists and turns and I was shocked by the ending. I live this series and look forward to the next one.

Leigh continues to enthrall me with Sheriff Bree and Matt as they race to solve the brutal murders of a married couple.
But nothing is as it appears in this case especially the victims.
I love how Leigh connects the different plots together with a focal point.
I had figured out who the culprit was halfway through but the author had a few final twists for me.
I loved the scene with Greta! K-9 all day long!

A horrific sight meets a teenager’s eyes when she comes home from work. The double homicide resonates with Sheriff Bree Taggert because she knows young Claire’s life will never be the same. Melinda Leigh writes strong and smart police procedural thrillers that dig into the heart of her characters and send the reader on a twisty, pulse-pounding path to the truth.

Track Her Down is the tenth entry in the Bree Taggert series that shares the same world as the earlier Scarlet Falls and Morgan Dane series in rural upstate New York. The books are standalone thrillers, but there is a progression of personal growth and relationship building throughout the series.

In this latest, Bree and Matt are on the case of a double homicide that gets weirder the deeper they dig and, on the side, they’ve got someone selling exotic dangerous creatures and some have gotten loose in the woods near Gray’s Lake. The teenage daughter seems to still be a target for the killer so Bree and her team need to work fast.

Bree who has struggled lifelong with the loss of her parents in a homicide and, more recently, her sister and brother in law to homicide feels for the vulnerable girl and her own repressed memories start returning as a result. I’ve enjoyed seeing her work through her grief, connect with her also grief-stricken niece, nephew, and estranged brother as well as open up for a romance with Matt as the series progresses.

Track Her Down isn’t at a loss for suspects and villainous characters and it shines a light into the darkness of stolen children, the foster system, the exotic pet trade, and more while providing a strong backdrop of rural, but thorough police work.

Ten books in and I still can’t get enough of this series. Each book including Track Her Down is a strong, well-plotted book that reads quickly because I don’t want to put it down and leaves me satisfied and wanting more when it ends. Those who like smart characters and mystery plots not easily penetrated should definitely give this series a go.

I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Track Her Down through Net Galley . This is an extraordinary story . Sheriff Bree Taggert is called to a crime scene . It turns out it's not a home invasion and the mother and father were executed in their bed leaving a teen daughter on her own . While Bree and Matt work to solve this crime they have to look to the past history of the couple
and all their secrets . There are so many twists and turns I couldn't put this story down . This story is suspenseful and intriguing with a shocking end . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

This one surprised me! I love the Bree Taggert books and it was great to jump into that world again. The murder was so twisty and turney it was basically a rollercoaster. I know that bothers some people but I don’t mind it. As far as the ending goes, it was good and everything was tied up nicely, BUT some murder mystery books like this end up resolved but kinda depressing. I don’t love that but it is what it is.

Also, it needs to be said that I’m here for the “Madeline Jager redemption tour”. I couldn’t stand her but she really came through in this one.
Great writing, great story. Loved the further development of side characters.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and to the publishers for giving me the chance to read this ARC.

I loved this book and would definitely read it again and recommend it. I look forward to reading more from Melinda Leigh!

Thanks to netgalley for another book in this great series. I continue to enjoy the character development as the series goes, and I keep learning more about all the main and supporting characters. I love how the subplot of exotic animal trade gets blended into the main story. This was a quick, page turning read and am looking forward to next book in this series.

From the riveting beginning to the final twists and revelations, this story is compelling and exciting! This is the ninth entry in Leigh’s excellent Sheriff Bree Taggert series. Bree and her partner Matt Flynn are swept into a murder investigation involving her nephew’s high school friend. The ensuing investigation and solution make this a top-tier police procedural.
As in all of the books in this series, there is a significant presence of the activities of Bree and Matt’s intertwined families, as well as sweet domestic moments. Animals also figure prominently, whether it is the horses on Bree’s farm or the animal smuggling ring she must stop.
This is a busy story, with a number of plot lines that eventually come together in a satisfying conclusion. It can be read as a standalone, but reading the early novels in the series will make the reader’s experience much richer. Bree’s character is so strong, and her extended family so warm, that it is a great pleasure to read this book and immerse myself in the world of Sheriff Bree Taggert.

Thank you to Montlake Books and NetGalley for the ARC. This is my honest review.

Another great police procedural in the Bree Taggert series by Melinda Leigh. I have enjoyed following these characters, both primary and secondary, throughout this series. Reading the next installment is always a treat I look forward to. Start at the beginning to get the most out of it. Great story, highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. All opinions are my own.

Although I have read and enjoyed some of Melinda Leigh's other work this was the first book I tried from the Bree Taggert series. I wasn't disappointed. I found the main character very likeable and loved that she had such a good relationship with her team and that even though she had faced many difficult challenges she didn't dwell on them. From the beginning it was obvious that she was going to have trouble finding the killer of a suburban couple especially as every answer they found lead to half a dozen more questions. The story contained twist after twist but the identity of the killer left me reeling. It really is a very clever story. I now have the thrill of tracking down the 10 earlier books in this series.

Thanks to Netgalley. and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

Track Her Down is the ninth book in Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert series and is an adrenaline rush. It tells the story of Clair, an only child, who walks into her home to find her parents murdered in their own beds. What follows is a tale of greed and revenge by unraveling the murder victims' secret lives. This twisting novel will keep one up beyond a decent night's sleep. I didn't see the ending coming!
This author has some serious writing capability and proves it once again in Track Her Down. A fabulous 5-star novel!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This wasn't a great book for me. I was sucked it, for sure, but in the end I was disappointed.

I didn't enjoy the multiple narrators. There were too many and it to me out of the story many times.

The "who done it" aspect definitely kept me guessing, and let me down multiple dead ends as well. So, there's a point for the book.

I wouldn't recommend it though.

TRACK HER DOWN (Bree Taggert Book 9) by Melinda Leigh
This is the 9th book of the series and it is as fresh, well written, solid, with great characters in Bree & Matt, the secondary characters are well developed too. It is suspenseful, dramatic, with angst, and it is impossible to quit reading. I love these series books, especially when you are able to feel like they are family. Melinda Leigh is an excellent wordsmith and I hope she keeps this going for a long time. This is a 5 star read.
I listened to the audio book and Christina Traister does a great job with the narration.

Sheriff Bree Taggert returns in a cracking story. That sees her and boyfriend and part time investigator Matt Flynn search for the killer of Shelley and Josh Mason. Who have been shot and killed in their own home in what appears to be a burglary gone wrong and found by their seventeen-year old daughter Claire.

Who Bree immediately connects with, having lived through a similar trauma as a child.

However, the burglary theory is soon dismissed and as lawyers who worked from home, disgruntled clients are an obvious next choice.

But then a member of the investigation team comes across some shocking information that turns the case on its head and the investigation heading in a whole other direction and leaves Bree questioning everything.

Meanwhile, she also has to contend with calls about an alligator and the appearance of a wolf cub. That may or may not be connected to the Mason's murder.

And with twists you won't see coming, a murderer I did not anticipate or expect, red herrings, wild animals and an edge of your seat ending. Track Her Down was a brilliant read and one I found hard to put down. Which is why I would happily recommend it to all.

These Melinda Leigh books are always great and Track Her Down did not disappoint,

We go on more calls with Sheriff Bree Taggert as she solves mysteries in her town while also trying to keep her family safe. I always enjoy catching up with all of her family and solving the crimes are a bonus. Great book that I didn't want to end as usual.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc.

Author Melinda Leigh takes us on another wild ride with Sheriff Bree Taggert.
When called the a horrific murder scene, it reminds Bree of her own parent’s murder. Can she handle the emotional stress this case is bound to bring to her?
I love the characters in the series. Watching them evolve and grown throughout the series has been enjoyable.
I was kept guessing as to who the killer was….I thought I knew who it was….I was totally wrong.
Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I enjoyed this book. The mystery, keeping reading wondering what is going on. Lots of secrets and a great plot!

The twists just keep coming at Sheriff Bree Taggert and her team when they are called to the scene of a double murder. The couples’ teenage daughter, Claire, arrived home to find that her parents had been viciously murdered. Bree relies on her small, but talented team which includes her life partner, investigator Matt Flynn. As they process the horrific scene, the deaths bring back memories, for Bree, of the murder of her mother, by her father. That day, Bree was able to save herself and her siblings, but the memory follows her as she cares for her niece and nephew. As they investigate the lives of the murdered couple, what will they find…who could have wanted them dead and why? It appears that the killer’s main focus now, is kidnapping Claire as she was threatened at a local park. Keeping her safe is their priority, but as the case widens, Bree is up against pressure from a local official to solve the case. She is also dealing with a crocodile sighting and the possible illegal sale of wildlife animals. When the murdered couple may have been involved in illegal activity, a case from the past intrudes into the investigation. Don’t blink, as the revelations for Bree and Matt are not over. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)
