Her Last Goodbye by Melinda Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the second book in the Morgan Dane series (my first book review is here), but it can be read as a standalone, though there are references to the first book.
This was a great, solid mystery, with plenty of suspense, romance and a doozy of an ending. I will certainly be continuing reading this series.
The story takes place a month after the events of Say You’re Sorry. The Sharp Investigations crew – now with Morgan as a legal consultant – is hired to find Chelsea Clark, who has been missing for a week. Her husband hires the firm because he’s been the focus of the investigation, but he firmly maintains his innocence and is overwhelmed with worry and the stress of caring for their two young children. From there, things get messy, as multiple unsavory characters come to the forefront and some begin threatening Morgan personally.
The plot was very straightforward, and you’re thrust right into the middle of the action. And there are some nice twists in there. It’s not a generic romantic suspense plot. I enjoyed trying to figure out how it was going to end up.
I continue to enjoy the broader cast of characters in this book- Morgan’s grandfather and kids, Lance’s mom, etc. They really add some depth to the plot and some touching moments (though some of the chaos those little girls bring could make you dizzy!) I’m excited to see how they all develop in the future.
The relationship between Lance and Morgan continued to develop too, which was nice. I like that it’s going slowly, so it provides some tension, and something to look forward to.
Overall, this is a nice addition to the series. Recommended.
