Book Review - Cross Her Heart

 Cross Her Heart - Melinda Leigh

More than twenty five years ago three young children are left alone after a tragic murder suicide of their parents. The children have worked hard putting the past behind them and healing from the tragedy. Now, the oldest, Bree Taggart is a homicide detective who receives a panicked call from her sister Erin. She can’t get a hold of her sister, so she packs up and heads home to see what has happened. When she arrives, she finds out Erin has been murdered. Who would want to hurt her and leave Erin’s two children without a mother? Has the past come back to haunt them once again?

Matt Flynn is a retired K-9 handler who is also Erin’s husbands’ best friend. When he goes to pick up Justin, he finds Erin’s body and Justin has gone missing. Has Justin murdered his wife?

Bree and Matt team up to find the murderer with the local police. They vow to uncover the secrets of Erin’s life and to find Justin if he is still even alive. Bree is torn between the investigation and trying to be there for Erin’s two children.

I loved the chemistry and friendship that develops between Bree and Matt as they race to find the killer. The supporting characters are well written, and the story keeps you enthralled until the very last page. The author did a brilliant job of developing the characters and leaving you wanting more. I was thrilled to learn this is the first book in a series featuring Bree, so I am anxiously awaiting the next book. Thank you so much to Melinda Leigh, Montlake and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to read and review.
