This is another great police procedural in Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert series. 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; I highly recommend it.

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

This has to be the most twisted installment yet of the Bree Taggert series. You think you have it figured out and you will be so wrong! And the final twists and turns will keep you gasping and racing thru the pages!

Thank you Montlake and Netgalley for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book I have read from Melinda and I cannot wait to go back and read the rest of this series and more. This is the type of series I love and I don’t know why I never found her before.

I loved the characters especially Bree. She is easy to relate to. Her relationship with Matt and her sister’s children is sweet.

Loved the forensic details, the twist I actually did not see coming so I loved that it wasn’t predictable. Overall loved the book and cannot wait to go back and start the series.

Bree is at it again, searching for a brutal killer that’s willing to strike again and again. I enjoyed the plot and the characters, as always. I do wish there was more action throughout the book instead of just towards the end. I wholeheartedly recommend Beyond Her Reach. #NetGalley

I love the continuing story of Sheriff Bree Taggart and her significant other Investigator Matt Flynn! This story is tense, full of misdirection and thoroughly entertaining! The characters are very well developed and it is hard to find a stopping point as the action never ends for long. I did not want this book to end! Definitely a 5 star!

In the wake of a woman’s savage murder, the suspects and motives are only mounting for Sheriff Bree Taggert! Another great read! I’m loving this series! The characters are awesome! It has great suspense, mystery, murder, intriguing, action, and some shocking twists! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book and series! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

The latest book in the Bree Taggert series starts with a gruesome murder, and snowballs from there. I am a huge fan of this series—and love getting to see crossover from other book series, ie the Morgan Dane books. This was fast paced and well written—if I had any complaints it would be that there wasn’t enough of Bree’s family in the book. But overall a great read!

What a shocker!!

Brutal murder has Bree Taggert and Matt on a hunt to find a killer with suspects coming out of the woodwork.
This fantastic series just keeps getting better and will keep you on your toes waiting for the next shoe to drop. You sure don’t want to miss this one.

I rounded up. I’m not gonna lie here. The book was good but I struggled a bit with it mainly because it felt choppy. I absolutely love Melinda Leigh books. The Bree Taggart series is a grad and read for me always. Just this one wasn’t as good and others for me. It was good to catch up with all the main players and seeing Morgan Dane and Lance involved was fantastic! The new pup was a great addition too. I’m looking forward to the next in the series for sure.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.
Sheriff Bree and her partner Matt investigate when a woman is found murdered. Her ex husband and current boyfriend make good suspects, but with little evidence Bree can’t prove anything. Then another woman is found murdered.

Could not put this down. I loved catching up with a new instalment in this series. The characters are so likeable, but I was definitely rooting for Turbo the dog too. This book left me frustrated, much like the characters, with lack of evidence etc. this was a positive experience though as I really felt like I was experiencing things first hand. The ending when it came was a completely shocking woah moment. Highly recommend.

I loved this book and this series. It was good to catch up with not only Bree and Matt but also Morgan Dane and Lance Kruger. Women are being murdered and there are several suspects. Lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending. Also a new dog to love.

Another great addition to the Bree Taggart series. Bree and Matt are stumped by a series of murders and none of the clues are clear. Great insight into working K-9s also
I loved this book as the back story had insight into Brees past and her relationship with Matt
Hoping for many more

“Beyond Her Reach” is officially Bree Taggart #10, although fans have also recently had more Bree in the recent Kendra Elliot/Melinda Leigh collaboration “Echo Road.” Each Bree Taggart story is strong enough to survive as a great standalone thriller since enough backstory will be present to fill you into Bree’s family matters and sheriff’s department politics (and dogs, there are always doggos, especially since her partner trains K9s). She’s a New York State Sheriff who has survived childhood trauma, formerly Philly PD, but now is happily employed as the head of a county sheriff’s department. She is romantically involved (not undercover, but no public PDA), with her chief investigator, and former K-9 handler Matt Lyon. Taggart and her various deputies are a likeable crew, upstanding, thorough and professional, so the petty jealousies and department conspiracies aren’t present. Author Leigh always constructs a strong police procedural, filled with twists, turns, and bad guys who get their proper comeuppances.

In “Beyond Her Reach,” Sheriff Taggart is investigating the murder of a middle-aged divorcee found in her home with a slashed throat. Suspects include the angry ex-husband, a stoic unemotional rich boyfriend, and a creepy neighbor. The boyfriend has an expensive defense attorney who, with her own private investigator, is covering the same ground as Bree and Matt, adding more clues and eyewitnesses. This all seems to be a standard murder investigation until, at the halfway point, there’s a new element of danger and the county supervisor (who has morphed from black and white Cruella DeVilla to a gray ally), Madeline Jager, is screaming about an unproven “serial killer!” to the press. Bonus! Bree’s department needs another K9, and super-energetic Turbo is auditioning for the job.

I love these types of police stories with steady protagonists (it’s OK that they don’t have perfect pasts). Bree Taggart stories have become an auto-buy for me and I hope to see much more of Bree and Matt! 4.5 stars!


Literary Pet Peeve Checklist:
Green Eyes (only 2% of the real world, yet it seems like 90% of all fictional females): NO But Bree’s brother Adam has equally rare hazel eyes.
Horticultural Faux Pas (plants out of season or growing zones, like daffodils in autumn or bougainvillea in Alaska): NO Winter is approaching and only a few scraggly weeds are described.

Thank you to Montlake and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy!

I was thrilled to find this book as a Netgalley offering. I love this series, which I discovered through Kindle Unlimited. I've now read all the books in the series and hope there will be more. Thank you, Netgalley, publisher and most especially, author Melinda Leigh.

I'm not sure where these fall in the mystery genre: police procedural? Cozy? Thriller? Whatever they are, I'm glad I found them. Likewise, I'm not sure if this is the "best" book in the series. I AM very sure, however, that you should read the first few books in the series before you read the latest installment. Without those, you're going to largely miss out on a lot of the emotional aspects of the story. So, get hold of at least the first few volumes and read them, then go ahead and read this one. I think it's a worthwhile series. The characters have grown and changed as the series progressed, which is something Ienjoy. If you're a New Yorker ( state more than city), you'll feel like you're on familiar terrain.

One thing to note, however-- there is a lot of violence in this series, including remembrances of spousal abuse as seen through the eyes of a child. If that is a sensitive subject for you, give the series a pass. Otherwise, I'd wholeheartedly recommend the series and this latest entry in it.

What a fantastic book! The first one I have read by this author but definitely can't wait to read more! The characters stay with you long after you finish the book. Highly recommend!

Beyond her Reach by Melinda Leigh, published by Montlake is book 10 in the Bree Taggert Series.
Sheriff Bree Taggert's latest case becomes a challenge for Bree, her team and Matt Finn, her partner. She seems subdued, a bit tired and is kind of in a stand still. A race against time, finding a hostage, solving a complicated, complex case she has her hands full.
Bree and Matt make a fantastic team, introducing a new dog - yay - I loved the story about Tempo.
All in all a read that is worth waiting for, suspenseful, excellent, and deserves all the stars.

My first read from @netgalley and definitely not my last!

There is so much to unravel here. This is my first time reading a Melinda Leigh book. Have I been under a rock? I’m not sure, but I’ll be getting my hands on everything I can.

This read follows Sheriff Bree Taggert through a small town murder mystery. Who done it? Who done it again?! I can’t pinpoint one thing I loved specifically about Bree, because her character is just fantastic. There is a little backstory, doesn’t go deep, but it makes you love her!

One of the best things about this book is the roll out. There is nothing slow about the story. From page one, the author is off and writing. It’s fabulous. When something is about to happen, it happens. Why are these women, all dated by the same man, being murdered or coming up missing?

Everyone knows I love a book with fast chapters and this one delivers. Fast, fast, fast. And just when you think you have it figured out, you don’t. At one point I thought… I won’t tell!

My ONLY issue with this book, I read it on my phone. GASP! Net Galley is digital, so when I downloaded this, to my phone it went. I guess it’s time to buy a new Kindle. (I do love to hold and smell a book, but access to books before they are even sold is 𝑵𝑬𝑿𝑻 𝑳𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑳 for me. So I’ll be Kindle shopping this weekend!

Sheriff Bree Taggert and K nine handler and investigator Matt Flynn are back in this suspenseful story. A woman is found with her throat slashed in her home. There are several suspects. The ex husband who has a younger woman in his life. The neighbor who is a little stalkerish. The ex boyfriend who is not really a people person. They believe it is a one time killing but when another woman is found with her throat slashed too, her and the first woman have a man in common. But it’s when another woman is taken from her home that really narrows down the list of suspects. Can they find the woman before it’s too late?
I COULD NOT put this book down! I never would have guessed who the killer was. Action. Suspense. You will be on the edge of your seat. Be prepared to get sucked into this book.

* VOLUNTARILY READ AND REVIEWED FOR NETGALLEY *

Another terrific mystery. All the usual twists and turns. Fine alone but of course best in order as we follow both Morgan and Bree. Usually I figure it out early but this one did a good job of keeping the options open. Really enjoyable quick beach read.

As always, anything Melinda Leigh rights is a hit, and this is no different. Matt and Bree are settling into life together, and the kids are growing up. Just when Bree starts another case, she has a memory come about her mom. She and Adam make a sketch, so hopefully, they can find her. Life is moving along. There are some surprises in here both for the fans and for Jager.

I enjoyed this book, and I hope you do as well. I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
