Welcome back to another #FriendlyFriday, where I tell you all about my fabulous friends and what brilliant things that they are up to!
I'm thrilled to introduce you to today's friend, Melinda Leigh! #1 Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author, Melinda's bio jokes that she is a fully recovered banker. A life-long lover of books, she started writing as a way to preserve her sanity while raising her kids. Over the next few years, she learned a few things about writing a book. The process was much more fun than analyzing financial statements, and she decided to turn her hobby into a career.
Her debut novel, SHE CAN RUN, was nominated for Best First Novel by the International Thriller Writers. Since then, she has garnered numerous publisher awards, including two Silver Falchions and three Golden Leaf Awards. She is a two-time RITA® Award Finalist and has earned three Daphne du Maurier Award nominations. Melinda’s books have sold over 11 million copies.
She holds a 2nd degree belt in Kenpo Karate. She’s dabbled in Arnis stick fighting, studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and taught women’s self-defense. She lives near the beach with her family and a small herd of spoiled rescue pets. With such a pleasant life, she has no explanation for the sometimes dark and disturbing nature of her imagination.
But today I'm so excited to share with you her new Bree Taggert novel, Dead Against Her! Are you ready to hear about it?
Called to an isolated farm to check on an elderly widow, Sheriff Bree Taggert finds a brutal double homicide. One of the victims is Eugene Oscar, the bitter and corrupt former deputy she recently forced out of the department.
Working with criminal investigator Matt Flynn, Bree discovers that she isn’t the only one who had a troubling history with Eugene. But someone doesn’t want Bree digging up the past. She becomes the target of a stranger’s sick and devious campaign calculated to destroy her reputation, career, family, and new relationship with Matt. To make matters worse, she’s the prime suspect in Eugene’s murder.
When her chief deputy goes missing while investigating the case, Bree refuses to back down. She won’t let him become the next victim. His life and her future depend on finding a killer nursing a vengeful rage.
This is the fifth novel in the Bree Taggert series, with the final two books in the series coming in 2023! If you haven't checked out this series yet, I highly recommend grabbing book 1 and making your way through the series. However, if you've devoured books 1-4, then click here to purchase Dead Against Here now! And as always, make sure to stop by Melinda's website to check out her other works!
