Why we’re excited
A frozen body tied with a pink bow turns up outside the gates of a pop star's rural estate in upstate New York, timed for her birthday. Sheriff Bree Taggert and her fiancé Matt Flynn have to sort through stalkers, ex-partners and photographers as more people close to the singer start dying.
This is book eleven in Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert series, which began with Cross Her Heart. Each case stands on its own, though Bree's family life carries over from book to book. Readers who like procedural mysteries set in snowy small towns should find this one a good winter read.
