A #1 Amazon Charts bestseller and Prime Reading's most read book of 2018.

In this multimillion-copy bestselling series from #1 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.

Review

"Leigh masters every aspect of a thriller, and with every book sets the crime fiction bar higher." —USA Today

"Another winner from Melinda Leigh! Say You're Sorry showcases Leigh's talent for blending mystery, romance, and nail-biting suspense." —Laura Griffin, New York Times bestselling author

About the Author

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh is a fully recovered banker. A lifelong lover of books, she started writing as a way to preserve her sanity when her youngest child entered first grade. During the next few years, she joined Romance Writers of America, learned a few things about writing a novel, and decided the process was way more fun than analyzing financial statements. Melinda's debut novel, She Can Run, was nominated for Best First Novel by the International Thriller Writers. She's also earned three Daphne du Maurier Award nominations and a Golden Leaf Award. Her other novels include She Can Tell, She Can Scream, She Can Hide, She Can Kill, Midnight Exposure, Midnight Sacrifice, Midnight Betrayal, Midnight Obsession, Hour of Need, Minutes to Kill, and Seconds to Live. She holds a second-degree black belt in Kenpo karate; teaches women's self-defense; and lives in a messy house with her husband, two teenagers, a couple of dogs, and two rescue cats.

5 stars - 'Say You're Sorry' by Melinda Leigh

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2017

It’s been a while since I read a book written by Melinda Leigh, and I definitely have regretted it because I adore her books. I dived right into Say You’re Sorry sometime ago and had a hard time putting it down. I ended up buying it in paperback, so I can enjoy carrying the book around in my purse. It also looks great with the rest of Melinda Leigh’s books on my book shelves.

Onward to my review of a such a suspenseful book though. 🙂

First off, I really love the characters that Melinda writes in her books, especially in Say You’re Sorry. If you’ve ever read a Melinda Leigh book then you’ll realize from the beginning that she writes some strong female leads into her stories. The female lead that always knows how to handle herself and that is just one of many reasons why I’m addicted to Melinda’s books. I always love strong female leads.

The female lead in Say You’re Sorry is definitely one I adored. Morgan Dane is a widow who lost her husband overseas in the military. She’s living with her grandfather with her three little ones trying to get her life back together. She’s definitely doing an amazing job at it. She’s moving on to big things on working with the District Attorney’s office. Although, life is about to be turned upside down, when her babysitter is killed in Scarlett Falls and the boyfriend/Morgan’s neighbor is accused of the girls’ murder. It’s up to Morgan to prove his innocence. She has the help of her friend, Lance Kruger who happens to be a private investigator to help her along the way.

Melinda Leigh brought on the suspense in this story, which made it hard to put down. I wanted to follow along with Morgan and Lance and uncover who was actually behind the murder. It was great to read the different POVs in the story and I really enjoyed getting to follow along with Morgan, Lance, the boyfriend/neighbor Nick, and even the killer (who I couldn’t figure out who he/she was). Melinda Leigh definitely kept me guessing on who was behind it all.

I loved Lance’s character because he truly was a gentleman trying so hard to keep his feelings over Morgan under bay. Poor guy. He was definitely in love with her. Morgan though is grieving still and she realizes it in the story what she needs to do. The ending had me in tears because of what she finally got the courage to to do, which made it where she finally decided on her next steps.

Overall, this was an amazing book and I really wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I look forward to making time to read the second book in the series before the third one comes out next year. I’m cracking down and finally making time to catch up on the books I’ve had on my to read list for a while now. I’m also happy to read one of my favorite authors books and finally catch up, so I can keep up with every book she comes up with. 🙂

I read the whole thing because I got invested and wanted to know how it ended. If the mystery wasn’t enticing I would have given up around the halfway point. The ending however was not quite worth it. I felt the twist, although surprising, got tied up in too neat of a bow all at once. Everything got solved in a days time and all the answers were given to them, not them searching for them. The characters took too many risks that seemed silly and unrealistic. Too much focus on the characters personal lives for my liking. Good enough for a quick vacation read but I don’t think I’ll continue with the series.

A 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HEART-POUNDING READ!!

The story begins with 13 year old Tessa - she's running thru the forest - someone is calling her name. She must get away from him. She knows he'll kill her if he catches her. Tessa is running around in circles; she's back to where she began - and he's right in front of her. She knows what will happen next - and then there was total darkness.

Morgan Dane was offered a position as the Scarlet Falls Assistant District Attorney by District Attorney Bryce Walters. Morgan is widowed with three small children. As she contemplates her decision - she gets a call from Evelyn Palmer; Tessa's grandmother. She tells Morgan that Tessa is missing and that she had an argument with Tessa and she took off.

Morgan talks to Lance Kruger - he's a former police officer; now a Private Investigator. They are looking for Tessa. She was last seen at a party at the Scarlet Falls Lake with her boyfriend Nick Zabrowski. Morgan and Lance go to the lake and they find her car. Morgan finds Tessa's car keys and cellphone - there's blood on the cellphone case. They continue on the trail and Morgan has a bad feeling - she finds the body of Tessa - she was violently stabbed to death.

Lance goes to work at "Sharp Investigations"; his boss, Lincoln Sharp hands him a missing persons case - 16 year old Jamie Lewis has been missing for two months. There are no leads and her mother is desperate to find her.

Nick is arrested for the violent murder and rape of Tessa. The knife and other items were found in his backyard.

Morgan and Lance begin their investigation of Tessa's murder. They begin with interviewing Tessa's friends - they can't believe that Nick could commit murder.

Who killed Tessa and put the blame on Nick? He's in the county jail - how will he ever survive?

Melinda's attention to detail is dramatic and graphic - from her description of the bloody scene to her love for her dead husband, the love she has for her kids and grandpa and finally the mental illness of Jennifer Kruger - Lance's mom; the reader can empathize with the characters. Melinda has created a story with true-to-life characters; these are people you care about. You can feel Morgan's vulnerability - she's been alone for so long - could she ever let a man into her life? Lance takes care of his mom, Jennifer. She's agoraphobic and has depression and anxiety. He doesn't want to get involved with anyone because of his mom's mental illness.

You won't believe who the murderer is!! I'll not give that away!!

This is Book 1 of the Morgan Dane Series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! I look forward to Book 2!!

It was nice to get to know two of the characters in bree taggert series from before bree was on the scene. Well written, but there was one issue i had with it. After Nick is attacked in hospital… there was no follow up. You don’t even know if he is dead or alive until the end… needs rewriting.
