Book Review: Secrets Never Die by Melinda Leigh

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

SECRETS NEVER DIE (Morgan Dane Book 5) by Melinda Leigh is a romantic suspense/PI mystery. I cannot get enough of Morgan, Lance and the whole cadre of secondary characters. The only reason I put this book down was because I had to go to work.

Tina Knox comes home from work to find her husband, a retired sheriff shot dead in the den and her teenage son, Evan missing. Tina calls PI Lance Kruger for help because her son is on Lance’s hockey team for at risk teens. As the evidence begins to come together, Evan goes from being considered a missing person to the prime suspect.

Lance and Morgan work together to locate Evan and find evidence to prove him innocent. Just when the trail goes cold, another deputy goes missing. Is his disappearance connected?

Also, Lance and Morgan do not believe that Tina is telling them the whole truth. What is she hiding and is it connected?

Lance and Morgan fear Evan is the killer’s target. Will they be able to find Evan alive and unravel family secrets that put everyone in jeopardy?

Once again, Morgan and Lance go all out to prove the innocence of their client. It is difficult to not give away secrets because I want everyone to see how clever Ms. Leigh is with her plotting. She gives you a fast-paced, page-turning, intense read with plot twists that always surprise me. Morgan and Lance’s relationship continues to develop and they are a powerhouse couple at home and on the job. I always look forward to catching up with all the secondary characters, also.

This is my favorite series by Ms. Leigh and I am going to be very sorry to see it end. Until then, I highly recommend this book and the whole series for great reads!
