Hi there! Today I wanted to share with you something special. It's not a new book, or a romantic story, but it was a novel that I enjoyed a lot, and I think you may enjoy as well.
Say you're sorry is the first installment in the Morgan Dane series by Melinda Leigh. The lead character is a former prosecutor, and in this book she will be facing the most personal —and deadly— case of her life.
About the book:
After the devastating loss of her husband in Iraq, Morgan Dane returns to Scarlet Falls, seeking the comfort of her hometown. Now, surrounded by family, she’s finally found peace and a promising career opportunity—until her babysitter is killed and her neighbor asks her to defend his son, Nick, who stands accused of the murder.
Tessa was the ultimate girl next door, and the community is outraged by her death. But Morgan has known Nick for years and can’t believe he’s guilty, despite the damning evidence stacked against him. She asks her friend Lance Kruger, an ex-cop turned private eye, for help. Taking on the town, the police, and a zealous DA, Morgan and Lance plunge into the investigation, determined to find the real killer. But as they uncover secrets that rock the community, they become targets for the madman hiding in plain sight.

My opinion:
This book was simply spectacular. The rhythm, the plot,the characters, the suspense in the story... Everything was carefully managed to make us, readers, enjoy the book, engage in the investigation and feel part of everything is happening in front of us. And it was perfect! The author played a little game, alternating the characters in each chapter, and that helped to built the tension, but also helped to meet them better.
Morgan Dane surprised me as character. I loved her evolution in the book, her sense of justice and her determination about finding the truth, but also how she endured her grief until she was ready to let go and move on.
While reading this book I remember what I felt the first time I read Michael Connelly (one of my favorite writers) or David Baldacci, because I had the same feeling reading Say you're sorry. Pure and unadulterated emotion. What a great story it was! It was love at first chapter, my friends. Can't wait for you to read this book.
You can find this book in your favorite retailers and bookstores. I bought mine on Amazon.
