Dead Against Her (Bree Taggert Book 5)

Sheriff Bree Taggert responds to a call at an isolated farm and discovers a brutal double homicide. One victim is Eugene Oscar, a bitter and corrupt former deputy whom Bree recently removed from the department. Working with criminal investigator Matt Flynn, Bree learns that multiple people had troubled histories with Eugene. However, someone is determined to prevent her from investigating further. Bree becomes the target of a calculated campaign designed to damage her reputation, career, family, and her developing relationship with Matt. She also becomes the prime suspect in Eugene's murder. When Bree's chief deputy disappears while working on the case, she intensifies her efforts to find the killer. She must solve the murder before her deputy becomes another victim and before her own future is destroyed.
