Readers are in for a treat with tense scenes, a fast-paced plot and a couple of people they'll love to hate. I also enjoyed seeing Bree show more of her personality in this book - making her a more relatable and believably flawed character.
Dead Against Her is a great crime thriller with its tense scenes and a small look into Bree's family life. I enjoyed seeing Bree put her guard down, allowing readers (and characters close to her) understand her better. I look forward to seeing how Leigh will incorporate the lives of secondary characters in upcoming books within this small-town police procedural that keeps me coming back for more.
