Her Second Death by Melinda Leigh Review

I love when an author goes back in time and writes a prequel to a series. For me it enhances everything and bring to light different aspects of the characters than what I may have thought originally.

With this story, it is a fresh beginning into to a very popular series on Amazon. The Bree Taggert series already has 4 books published with this one upcoming and another one in May 2022.

Her Second Death is a fast read that introduces us to the main characters and throws a murder right into our lap. The initial intro of these characters gives us a taste of their resourcefulness and knowledge of their job. But most importantly, we get a clue in on Bree and her special circumstances that help her solve crimes.

Interesting, engaging, and definitely a bit addicting. Leigh wastes no time getting to the raw, gritty crime and the “who dun it”. I can see why this cop fiction series is a popular choice! I will be looking for more of Leigh’s books for certain!

4 STARS!
