Say You’re Sorry (Morgan Dane Book 1)

In this thrilling series from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh, former prosecutor Morgan Dane faces the most personal—and deadly—case of her lifetime.

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.

“I just now finished “Say You’re Sorry.” This book kept me awake as I couldn’t put it down. Just wanted to tell someone, anyone, what a good book. So well written. I’ll write a review (or try to). The book was so good I’m not sure I’ll do it justice…but I’ll try. I fell in love with the characters…and wonder of wonders I didn’t figure out who the culprit was until the author wanted me to. Most of the time I can figure it out but not this time. There was never a dull moment. I wish I didn’t have to wait until September for “Her Last Goodbye” to see what Morgan Dane and Lance Kruger have to deal with.” – Amazon Five Star Review
