I love this series. Bree and Matt are back for another mystery. I like a little bit of sex in my books, but Melinda Leigh is the only one I’ll read that doesn’t have any. There is plenty of action.

“Do you have specialized combat training that I am unaware of?” He kept his voice firm, suspecting she’d scent and exploit weakness like a fox scented and exploited a rabbit. Her eyes narrowed. “I have the fury of a woman whose child and husband were cold-bloodedly murdered by that sonofabitch.” Emotion vibrated through the words, but he ignored it. His job was tactical, not emotional. It ran on logic and preparation. And maybe it ran a little on luck, but he wasn’t about to admit that to a principal who was this antagonistic. He needed to gain her trust and her confidence if they were to work together effectively. “Sometimes,” he said quietly, “that isn’t enough.” Something flickered in those icy depths before she looked away. “It’s all I have left.” “Not true, counselor.” Lincoln Fraser produced a wide smile that showed he didn’t mind a little danger. “You also have the protection of the FBI.” “Whether I like it or not.” The glimpse of vulnerability was gone, replaced by bitterness. Aaron couldn’t blame her for her anger, but her attitude could make his job more difficult and put his teammates at risk. He wouldn’t stand for the latter. Their jobs were dangerous enough without a client with a death wish.

Leigh left Lebanon years ago with the town hating her. Her brother and his best friend went missing. She found her brother under the crawl space under their house. Her father was arrested and convicted for the murders. Now she returns because someone is killing and leaving her name on a toy soldier. As a member of the FBI, she is determined to find the killer. But someone wants her out of town and is going to great lengths to get her to leave. Will she find the killer before they strike again? Great story. But it’s told in only Leigh’s point of view. I like at least two point of views. Secrets. Mystery. Surprises. Action. Sort of cliffhanger.
