Jacquie's Reviews > On Her Watch

The latest Bree Taggert murder/mystery opens with the discovery of a body drop site found by a couple of hikers who quickly become suspects in the investigation. Each of the three young women are found at various stages of decomposition, making identification a nightmare for the sheriff’s team.

Bree has her hands full with news-hungry reporters, distraught parents, and pressure from counselors to find the killer. Added to that, a rampaging flu decimates her staff, and a case of domestic abuse brings up the past for Bree. Is it any wonder she feels pulled in a hundred directions?

The author softens what could be a hard-boiled police mystery by showing Bree’s devotion to her young niece and nephew (under her care after the death of Bree’s sister), and the growing relationship between her and investigator Matt Flynn. These are my favorite parts of the story, though guessing who the killer is fun too 🙂

I’m really enjoying this series and highly recommend it to readers who like police procedural stories.
