Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh @melindaleigh1 @melindaleighbooks.bsky.social @fightingfrau @brilliance.publishing #TrackHerDown

the setup…
Claire Mason returns home from work late at night and finds an unbelievable scene. Her parents lay murdered in their bed, shot to death. Sheriff Bree Taggert arrives to find the seventeen year old traumatized and alone. What first looks like a burglary gone wrong soon morphs into so much more as she probes into the family’s life.

the heart of the story…
As Bree and her team delve deeper into the lives of Josh and Shelly Mason, they find a treasure trove of secrets and mystery. In the meantime, Bree is also responding to sightings of an alligator and other wildlife not indigenous to the area. And, her list of suspects for both cases are longer than the evidence. The murder investigation is further complicated when the suspected murderer tries to abduct Claire.

the narration…
Christina Traister is the reason I’ll only listen to the series. She’s Bree’s voice in my head and is a skilled storyteller.

the bottom line…
Yes, this was a gnarly and complicated mystery but I always had a sense of misdirection. I honed in on a suspect, refusing to let go and was proven wrong! I like how Bree never digs into a theory without the evidence to support it (like I did). The team she’s assembled at the Sheriff’s Department has strengthened and their professionalism shows. That twist at the end threw me but I should have seen it coming. It’s always a good time here in Grey’s Hollow and I hope there’s no end in sight for this series.
