I love the Bree Taggert series and this one didn't disappoint. Looking forward to the next one. I really enjoy seeing the lives of each character through the series, in addition to the story itself.

Bree and her team are tasked with solving a double murder. Nothing is what it appears to be and every clue leaves them stumped at every twist and turn. The book had a few grammatical errors that needed to be edited, but loved it nonetheless. Can’t think of anything written by Melinda Leigh that I haven’t loved yet. #NetGalley

Track Her Down is the tenth installment in the Bree Taggert series and this case certainly kept Bree on her toes because of the empathy she felt for the young victim and what she went through. When a teenager returns home from work and finds her parents deceased in bed, more questions than answers surface as it turns out the deceased weren’t on the up and up leaving Bree and team to wonder how much did the teenager know.
Bree has made so much progress personally when it comes to dealing with her own traumatic past but it still gets in the way from time to time but it never prevents her from being a good sheriff and this case proved it. Matt helped Bree with this investigation and I love how supportive he is professionally and personally and I really hope they get married in the future but it’s not a requirement cause you know they are fully committed to each other.
This series continues to be one of my favorites and I can’t wait for the next book to come out!
Thank you @melindaleigh1 and publishers for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback

I love all the Bree Taggert books and this is no exception. A teen returns home from work and finds her parents murdered. It’s up to Bree, Matt and the team to find out what happened. I have to admit I did not see the twist coming and was very surprised. Can’t wait for more.

4.5* Another decent outing for Bree and the team, but slightly rushed towards the end.
Wow, I didn't see the reveals coming in this one. Yes, it might be book 9 in Bree's universe but each tale is very different, though with a lovely familiarity via the various side characters and snippets of Bree's family life. I'm not sure where it ties in with the 07/2024 collaboration with Kendra Elliott - Echo Road - but this feels pretty seamless with what's come before. You don't have to read the previous books to enjoy this one, but doing so will improve understanding of Bree's life and why she's the person she is.
This one starts with a pretty gruesome event and there's reveal after reveal that tie in with a revengeful murder, with some decent detective work from the team, including a new female character who appeared in the collaboration tale, Zucco. I predict we'll see more of her, possibly in a romance with a side character who's intriguing and who pops up briefly in each book, that I'd love to learn more about.
The tale progresses slowly at the start but there are enough red herrings to make it believable, and then, omg, come the reveals, which result in a bit of a dilemma for Bree, possible professional repercussions, as well as a thawing of relations with her nemesis, Jager. I liked this, as it showed how human and vulnerable she is, despite her toughness and compartmentalising of work vs home life. The only gripe is that everything felt a tad rushed at the end, with seemingly insignificant stuff turning out to be the motives for the murders, and a bit of a shocking collusion that despite it all, still made the victim a victim, and still a likeable one, too. But, ugh, the manipulation and actions were selfish and could have had serious consequences for one of the red herrings, and potentially may for Bree. Still, she's good enough at her job that she'll likely be fine, especially with Jager's thawing and her own reveals. That's an interesting change in their dynamic and it'll be interesting to see how they interact in future books and whether they're more allies than vague...colleagues? who don't see eye to eye.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the Bree Taggert series. Melinda Leigh is one of the authors I stumbled across via Kindle Unlimited way back when and she sparked my love for reading again. I binged all her available books and fell in love with this series and its characters.
This one pulled me in right from the start - which is no surprise for this series. I instantly connected with the characters. I must admit I did have a hunch from the beginning but I was still somewhat thrown off by the twist. As usual, the plot of the book was well done as well as the overarching plotline of the series. A near-perfect execution. The characters continue to grow on me, and I also love the introduction to newer characters. If you enjoy mysteries/thrillers, add this series to your TBR. You will 100% binge these books. An easy 4 stars!
Most importantly - all the thanks to Melinda Leigh and her publisher, Montlake, for providing me with this ARC. The publication date is set for January 14, 2025. Thrilled to have been able to read this one already. I hope this series never ends. Highly recommend!

The tenth book in Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert series is another winner and gives evidence of what a strong character Bree is. To have ten books that each tell a successful story is remarkable.
Track her Down is a romantic suspense story that is heavier on the suspense than the romance, but the relationship between Bree and Matt Flynn continues to mature in this latest installment. I can usually figure out who done it in most suspense books at least by the halfway point, but this one had me flummoxed until the end. The book begins with a double homicide that leaves a teenager an orphan and a town braced for the worst. As Bree, Matt and the law enforcement officers of Grey Lake, New York delve into the case, the twists and turns it takes leads to uncovering a trail of years of deception and crime.
I read this book through in one sitting. At 317 pages, this is not a long book, but it is packed with action that will keep you reading and guessing. I highly recommend.

Ninth book in this series featuring Bree Taggert and her team. Another great story with loads of twists.

The latest case for Bree Taggert had plenty of twists and turns - and of course a gator in upstate New York! I enjoyed this book, but now realise I have an even longer wait until the next one comes out!

Track Her Down by M. Leigh, published by Montlake, is the next book in the Bree Taggert Series and an absolute masterpiece.
Bree, her team and Matt are confronted with a double homicide that leaves more questions than answers. Sent on a wild goosechase they have their work laid out for them.
This author is a masterteller, mastercrafter, masterfully creating twists and unexpected turns.But the real shocker happens at the last 5 pages. This turn I never ever had expected.
I highly recommend the book and the series.
Blurb: A teenager returns home from work and finds her parents shot 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.
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 girl is to unravel her parents’ secrets.

This was a great book. I didn’t realize it was book 9 in a series, but I still was able to keep up. I will definitely have to read the previous books in the series before the next one comes out. If you enjoyed the other books in the Bree Taggert series, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one.

Each page keeps you guessing, while the chemistry between the protagonists sizzles off the page. A must-read for fans of thrillers who crave both adrenaline and passion!

Devoured and binge read in just a few hours. As always you can can expect a fast paced, thrilling and tightly packed procedural thriller from Melinda! excellent read

Claire encontró a sus padres muertos, fueron asesinado y cuando realizó la llamada a emergencias creyo escucho una voz dentro de la casa, es decir, el/la asesin@ seguía en la casa.
Bree es la sheriff del pueblo, fue quien respondió al llamado y encontró a Claire en shock y como le trajo viejos recuerdos la puso bajo su cuidado y se tomó muy personal encontrar al culpable.
En este libro podemos ver a Bree y Matt viviendo juntos, la convivencia de él con los sobrinos de ella.

Another great mystery in this series. A good amount of team interaction which I enjoy and the mystery itself was satisfying. A quick read for a lazy weekend.
