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.
Review:
Her Second Death does its job perfectly, giving readers a short nugget of a story to introduce a new character, Bree Taggert, and whet their appetites for more. In trying to solve a homicide and locate a missing little girl, Detective Taggert also gives us a glimpse into her own troubled past–a past that helps her to solve the case in less than 50 pages but still manages to feel realistic and authentic. Goal achieved–I for one will definitely be on the lookout for more from this series!
