Track Her Down (Bree Taggert book 9) by Melinda Leigh is a great addition to the series. I am never disappointed by a Bree Taggert book.

I was shocked at the ending and did not even guess that was coming.

In Track Her Down, a teenager returns home from work and finds her parents shot to death in their bed. Responding to the call, Sheriff Bree Taggert realizes the crime wasn’t a burglary gone wrong. The couple was executed. The sole survivor: their traumatized teenage daughter, Claire Mason.

Bree teams up with investigator Matt Flynn to work the case, but together, they uncover more questions than answers.

As Bree and Matt sift through the past, a tangled web of deception emerges, and the truth becomes harder to see. Because the victims’ entire lives were a lie. And the only way to protect the vulnerable girl is to unravel her parents’ secrets.

It's so good to get back to familiar characters and immerse myself in a well-written book that flows so effortlessly.

The Bree Taggert series is a great series with such dynamic and rich characters. I cannot wait for more. These books are so good, and I recommend and encourage anyone to start this series; you won't be disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for my copy of Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh.
Sheriff Bree Taggert gets the call to a double murder, a couple executed in their beds. Found by their daughter Claire when she returns from work.
What happened? The Masons were just a normal quiet family, no debts, no enemies. Bree will have to dig deep to solve this one.
A great read with lots of twists. Very enjoyable.

Track Her Down is book ten in the Bree Taggert series by Melinda Leigh. One night, a young teenager came home from work and found her parents murdered in their beds. On arrival at the scene, Sheriff Bree Taggert realised this was not a robbery gone wrong but an execution. The more she and investigator Matt Flynn investigate this crime, the more confusing the case becomes. The readers of Track Her Down will continue to follow Sherriff Bree Taggert and Investigator Matt Flynn's investigation to discover what happens.

I enjoy Melinda Leigh's writing style and stories, and Track Her Down kept up the tradition. I engaged with the characters and the story from the first page, which continued until the end. I enjoyed how Melinda Leigh talks about how others and the consequences can mislead children. I love Melinda Leigh's portrayal of her characters and the way they interact with each other throughout this book. Track Her Down was well-written and researched. I like Melinda Leigh's description of the settings of Track Her Down, which allowed me to imagine being part of the book's plot.

The readers of Track Her Down will understand the difficulties that social services have in placing older children into foster care and will learn about politics in law enforcement communities. I recommend this book.

What a shocker! I honestly didn’t see that ending twist!!
My favorite series!

Bree is back and this book is better than ever!
Claire Mason returns home from work to find her parents brutally murdered in their bedroom from this point on we are dealing with,
a double murder, a kidnapped/ missing kid for a decade, illegal animal sales, and a giant alligator roaming the streets !



This book had so many twists and turns and so many suspects that I could not put it down!

Melinda Leigh is one of those, if she writes it, I will read it, authors for me. The Bree Tagert series might be my favorite. I am typically pretty good at figuring out the plot twist, but this one got me. I loved the ending and how seamlessly everything was wrapped up without feeling rushed. Highly recommend!

Track Her Down is the latest mystery in the Bree Taggert series. When Sheriff Bree Taggert responds to a home invasion/murder of two seemingly normal citizens, she isn't sure what's going on - especially when their daughter, Claire, begins being stalked.

This is another fast-paced, fun thriller from Melinda Leigh, and it delivers all you'd want from a Bree Taggert novel. She often surprises me with her red herrings and mysteries, and even when I guess the whodunnit early on, I'm usually still excited to see how we get there. The whodunnit is usually not the only thrilling part of the books. Like her other novels, I blew through it in hours.

I recommend the entire Bree Taggert series to anyone interested in quick, fun police procedural mysteries.

Years ago, I accidentally stumbled across Melinda Leigh books on Kindle Unlimited and I have been a fan ever since. The Bree Taggart series is full of great characters, good story lines, wonderful pets and awesome K-9’s. This particular book was full of suspense and some twists I did not see coming. If you like criminal thrillers, you should check this series out.
Thank you Netgalley and publishers for the ARC.

Another fantastic installment into the Bree Taggert series - 5 stars for me! The more I read this series, the more I love the characters. If you haven't read any of the Bree Tanner books yet, you do not HAVE to read them in order to read this one, but trust me, you will want to go back and read them.

As usual, this latest book hooked me right at the start. This book was a little different for me because, without revealing spoilers, I thought I had it figured out when it turns out I was totally wrong. Also in this book there are two cases happening at the same time, and the other case is kinda hilarious at first until you start to understand what exactly was happening.

This book had a lot more surprises and twists than her previous books, which made me love the book all the more for it. I also love how we get to see not only Bree Taggert's POV, but also several of the other characters. Normally this is something that can annoy me, as I don't really like multiple POVs, but in this case it actually helped to build some of the suspense and surprise. I am also super excited to see in the next book if we have another K-9 coming with Matt's work with a new dog! I always love the Brady and Greta appearances in the books.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love love LOVED! this installment of the Bree Taggert series. Parts of it gave me literal chills. And I thought it was cool it threw a couple nods to Echo Road. Definitely going to be a must read of 2025

Great series stays strong! Complex mystery and complex, well-developed characters that you feel you know. Moves at a relentless pace, red herrings, twists, and turns up to the very end. Plus a huge human element that weaves it all together. For any mystery fan, the whole series is amazing! (Big plus, they all love animals, who are part of the cast)

I absolutely loved this book! I'm so invested in these characters, I can't get enough. My favorite part of these stories is the personal lives of the recurring characters. The plot in this particular story was done really well. I read this book in one sitting as I was hooked from the first page. This was a fast paced story that held my attention from start to finish, just like every book in this series before it. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one.

**********Contains Spoilers**********

I really enjoyed this book and thought that it was another good addition to the Bree Taggert Series. During this book Sheriff Bree Taggert is called to the scene of the double murder of Josh and Shelly Mason, their teenage daughter Claire found their bodies. Bree knows that their murders weren’t a burglary gone wrong and that the pair were executed. Bree calls her boyfriend, criminal Investigator Matt Flynn for assistance on the case. The more they investigate, the more they untangle about Josh and Shelly deceitful ways.

It’s a completely messed up webs of lies. I think that Bree and Matt make an amazing team. I love seeing each of them allow the other to step forward when needed during an investigation and that they have each other’s backs. I’ve already pre-ordered the next book and I’m looking forward to reading when it’s released, as well as more book from this universe in the future. I’d definitely recommend this book, series, universe and author to everyone.

******I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and publisher, Montlake through NetGalley. I would still happily review this book even if I purchased it myself. My thoughts and feelings about this book are completely unbiased******

After the opening brutal murder scene, I plowed through this book to get to the end to find out who done it. The journey to getting there was full of many twist and shocking revelations. Another great addition to series.

This story picks up right after the collaborative book with Kendra Elliot. Bree and Matt and their patchwork family are thriving in their little town, when a horrific murder takes place. I admit I was surprised at the ending, which I absolutely love. We also got some pov from another character—Renata—whom I found very interesting. I’d love to see her possibly get a series. Overall it was a great page turner. A must read!
