I love Melinda Leigh books because and pardon the pun she kills the police procedural stuff from the crime scene to the investigation to the autopsy every detail is meticulous and sucks me in, and on top of that the storylines always keeps me guessing.

And book three in the Bree Taggert series is no different, even if it did get off to a bit of a slow start. Yet, it soon picked up and after a couple of chapters, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, and the mystery as to who murdered Holly Thorpe and why was top-notch.

Additionally, the characters and Bree's personal situation as she navigates caring for her niece and nephew, reconnecting with her brother Adam, mourning her sister Erin and starting a relationship with former deputy Matt, all added another layer to what was a confounding and enthralling story. And I'm really excited for what comes next and would happily recommend DROWN HER SORROWS to others.

I absolutely love this series. I have really enjoyed the character growth of our characters. Bree for just generally being strong but realizing more and more how much she needs to share job duties at work, be there for her family and continue to get closer to Matt all the while dealing with her fears. This series in my opinion is just so well rounded. And I love every minute of it

Bree is investigating a supposed suicide that is found to be a murder.  The slew of suspects include the husband, the sister, and the boss.  Another murder causes more questions and inconsistencies in suspects stories.  Things aren't adding up and Bree is frustrated trying to sift through the evidence.  New leads put her and Matt in danger and it hits too close to home while also bringing them closer together.  A very twisty mystery that I couldn't solve.
