About this listen

In this short-story prequel to the Bree Taggert series by #1 Amazon Charts and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh, a murder investigation yields parallels to the Philly detective’s own frightening past.

When a man is shot in the head, Bree Taggert and her new partner, veteran detective Dana Romano, respond to the call. They break the news to the victim’s ex-wife and learn the estranged couple’s five-year-old daughter was supposed to have been with him. What starts as a murder investigation quickly morphs into a desperate search for a missing child. The case stirs memories of Bree’s own traumatizing childhood. To find the little girl, Bree will have to relive her own terrifying past.

Cops so VERY stupid it’s almost farcical

I really liked Book #1. This prequel story, Book #0.5, is meant to provide a bit more detail re the first days of work as a homicide detective, of the series’s main character, Bree. For some reason, the author chose to wrap that detail around an investigation in which Bree and her partner demonstrate an incredible level of ineptitude. Seriously. It’s mind-boggling. I’m trying to not give out spoilers, here, so I’ll just say that you’ll notice fairly soon a REALLY obvious clue, but the detectives don’t notice it until the end of the story. They don’t notice, despite the multiple times the clue is staring them right in their faces. It’s SOOOO obvious that, when the detectives ignored the clue, I found myself questioning if I’d really heard what I had when it was introduced. I’d really heard it; the clue was right there, near the beginning of this story. Pre-pandemic term usage, here: it’s like the author just phoned-in her story! (We can’t use that phrase in the same way now, can we? ;-) )

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
