Another great addition to the Bree Taggert series.
Bree and Matt are up against another serial killer and this one may have picked a victim a tad close to them! The killer seems to be picking victims from the online dating world - the victims are all horrible people but you can't help feeling sorry for the family they left behind.
I'm so happy that Bree and Matt are now "out" to their world. The romance is most definitely background for the murder/mystery but it does help to make them feem like "real people". It would have been nice to see some of the discussions they allude to, for example, where they talk about PDA at work/in public, etc. Along with Dana, best friend extraordinaire, their unusual family dynamic works. The kids are more secure and the Sheriff's Dept finally has some capable in charge.
There is a great selection of secondary characters too. Kady and Todd, the Sheriffs Office team, and then the possible murder suspects and their families. I could have done with a TW about the slithery monsters, I admit I had to flick past that scene in particular 'cos, just NOOOOOOOOO!
The interconnected worlds of Scarlet Falls and Morgan Dane series makes for a fully formed and colourful world. The town is beginning to feel more and more like a real place. Onwards and upwards for more Bree soon hopefully!
3rd person POV for Bree and Matt and 1st Person PV when with the serial killer
