About this listen

In this short-story prequel to the Bree Taggert series by #1 Amazon Charts and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh, a murder investigation yields parallels to the Philly detective’s own frightening past.

When a man is shot in the head, Bree Taggert and her new partner, veteran detective Dana Romano, respond to the call. They break the news to the victim’s ex-wife and learn the estranged couple’s five-year-old daughter was supposed to have been with him. What starts as a murder investigation quickly morphs into a desperate search for a missing child. The case stirs memories of Bree’s own traumatizing childhood. To find the little girl, Bree will have to relive her own terrifying past.

Story good, narrator blah

The story was fine. A little simple. But it's a short story, so that's probably par for the course. I'm not a fan of the narrator. She reads very choppy. And I'm definitely not liking how she does Romano's voice. Very hard sounding. Overall, it was okay. I'm hoping she improves with further books. As I have most of the set.

Short fast read

This Amazon Original was a fast audible listen. Most notably, the short story uses a nonverbal autistic child in a respectful manner. I appreciated the clarification, nonverbal does not mean unintelligent. The author also points out deliberately, the need for this child and others with the diagnosis to have a schedule. In addition, the story skates around parental screaming matches and the effects on children. Quite frankly, I thought the approach was beautifully done. Many people will be able to relate.

The story centers around a murder and all the usual bookish things necessary to keep us (readers) coming back.

I enjoyed the narrator.

There was swearing, minimally, as if it was a requirement.

Poor engineering

The hiss of an open mic interferes with the narration. I wish the engineer would have taken better care with the recording.

Loved the drama

I really enjoyed this short story especially the older homicide detective, Ramono. I hope she is in another in the series. Bree is kinda soft spoken but a strong character. I am going to preview the other books before purchase as I really enjoyed the chemistry between the two detectives.
aThis is a great listen for everyone who likes a bit of drama and suspense at the end of the work day.
