A teenager returns home from work and finds her parents shot to death in their bed. Responding to the call, Sheriff Bree Taggert realizes the crime wasn’t a burglary gone wrong. The couple was executed. The sole survivor: their traumatized teenage daughter, Claire Mason.
Bree teams up with investigator Matt Flynn to work the case, but together they uncover more questions than answers. When Claire is stalked at the park, it’s clear the killer isn’t finished—and she’s the next target.
I always enjoy the Bree Taggert series. It’s a police procedural, with a found family, and there’s K9 work too. I’m very attached to Bree and her family, her relationship with Matt, and her old partner, Dana.
Bree has revamped her force and it includes more women now. She still hates the politics, press conferences and is constantly questioned by one of the council. She and Matt are busy with a double homicide, a teen being stalked, and exotic animals loose in the area.
The couple who was murdered turn out to be con artists of a sort. They aren’t who they seem. Their daughter is now being stalked by the press and also possibly by the murderer. She was the one who found them. It has parallels with Bree’s childhood when both her parents died and where this teen will live in the future.
I really loved reading this twisty case, and the personal relationships which progressed. Things did not go as I thought they would. I’m really looking forward to the next book in the Bree Taggert series, Beyond Her Reach in September 2025.

The crime reminds me of another book and now it’s on the tip of my brain. I’m not familiar with this series, but it sounds like one I’d enjoy listening to, thanks for the heads up!
This is probably my favorite series of hers, although I’ve enjoyed many of her series.
Sophia Rose recently recommended this series. Sounds good.
Thanks it is one of my favorites.
A lot of these that you read are ones I really think my mom would like. I need to make sure she’s heard of this series!
It’s a favorite. I’d start at the beginning though. She could follow my blog!
Wasn’t that a stunner twist at the end? I love these, too.
yes this series has been a favorite from the first book.
Nice that she’s tried to hire more women in the dept. Glad you’re still enjoying the series.
I really enjoy this series and for some reason it is ebook for me instead of audio.
All the reviews of this author’s suspense titles have definitely caught my eye. This looks really good and I’m looking forward to trying the first Bree Taggert book.
Bree Taggert is my favorite of her series but I’ve enjoyed all the ones I’ve read.
I’m glad the series, at 10, is still going. 🙂 I’m curious 😉 I need some romantic suspense in my life.
I really enjoy this one. The romance is more in the background but still good.
