This eighth addition to the suspense/police procedural series starts off with a bang with a couple of hikers accidentally stumble upon the bodies of three women in varying degrees of decay. Bree and her team are called in and fear they have a serial killer on their hands.
A bit far-fetched with a few too many family life scenes that broke up the tension of the murder investigation and with the bodies piling up, there were quite a few secondary characters to keep track of. But while it wasn't my favourite book in the series, it's still a decent addition to this series and will appeal to readers who want suspense without too much gore and a hearty side of small-town family life from a main character who has a complicated and traumatic past.

Book Description from GoodReads: Sheriff Bree Taggert becomes a target when she follows the twisting trail of a serial killer in a bone-chilling novel of suspense by #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.
A pair of hikers find a tarp-wrapped body in a clearing in the woods. When a search in the surrounding area yields two more, Sheriff Bree Taggert knows they’ve stumbled onto a serial killer’s dumping ground.
With the help of investigator Matt Flynn, Bree works the case. They go to interview Jana, the best friend of one of the victims. But when they arrive at her apartment, it’s been ransacked and set on fire. And Jana is missing.
It’s clear the killer is escalating. To make matters worse, he threatens Bree’s family and a young mother vanishes. Will Bree and Matt uncover the link between the victims before more women die?
