Author: Melinda Leigh

Stars: 5

Review:
Another great start to a new series for Melinda Leigh.  I am almost positive this author can do no wrong and is headed to becoming the next Mary Higgins Clark.
The characters are well developed the pain they experience the readers will experience too.
The story flows page after page as readers find themselves over come with the need to help Bree find her sisters killer.  
The story is well paced as readers will be pulled into another Melinda Leigh Mystery series that will have readers demanding more.

Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for the advance copy of Cross Her Heart by Melinda Leigh.

Synopsis:
For more than twenty-five years, Philadelphia homicide detective Bree Taggert has tucked away the nightmarish childhood memories of her parents’ murder-suicide…Until her younger sister, Erin, is killed in a crime that echoes that tragic night: innocent witnesses and a stormy marriage that ended in gunfire. There’s just one chilling difference. Erin’s husband, Justin, has vanished.

Bree knows how explosive the line between love and hate can be, yet the evidence against her troubled brother-in-law isn’t adding up. Teaming up with Justin’s old friend, former sheriff’s investigator and K-9 handler Matt Flynn, Bree vows to uncover the secrets of her sister’s life and death, as she promised Erin’s children. But as her investigation unfolds, the danger hits close to home. Once again, Bree’s family is caught in a death grip. And this time, it could be fatal for her.
