Say You're Sorry

I loved this book. It was a thriller from beginning to end. Since it is Book 1 of the Morgan Dane series, if it gets better, or more thrilling, from here I won't be able to read them at night. As I told Mollie, my granddaughter, who sent me a text yesterday (5/15/17) telling me the paper she wrote for English (and which I edited) netted her a 100, I love it when a teacher recognizes a perfect paper when she reads one. This is a 100 book. Morgan Dane is an attorney who has had a stellar career as a deputy prosecutor. She and her husband, a military man stationed in Iraq, have three young daughters. Then, Morgan finds herself a widow responsible for raising her three young girls alone, Struggling to cope, she returns home and moves into the house with her father. She has finally decided it is time to go back to work and has agreed to work in the local prosecuting attorney's office. Then the young girl who occasionally babysits for her is found dead and their neighbor, Nick, the teenaged boy who plays chess with her dad and reads bedtime stories to her girls, is accused of the murder. Since Nick and his father don't have the money to hire a competent attorney, they ask Morgan to represent him. She realizes this is the other side of the "legal aisle" from the job she just said she would accept, but she feels compelled to do it. This story has it all. A crazy killer, a young murder victim, whose last words to the grandparents who have raised her since her parents died were angry words, a young boy who lives with his father and helps with his dad's landscaping business, and who has never shown any criminal tendencies, but is now accused of murder, a missing teenaged girl, and a private detective hired to look for a missing teenager - there are connections between the missing girl, the dead girl, and the former prosecuting attorney who is now considering representing the accused murderer. Melinda Leigh is great at writing thrillers with a touch of romance. If you like mysteries, you'll love this book. If you like a human-interest story with a touch of romance, you'll love this book. If you like reading, you'll love this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The storyline is engaging, suspenseful, and includes some very tense scenes. The first chapter pulled me into the tale quickly and kept me rapidly turning the pages all the way to its conclusion.

Story line was superb as were the characters, a tough tale of teenagers being abused by their peer group & adults. The Sharp Agency link up with ex cop Lance & ex Prosecutor Morgan was superb. All the characters were extremely well interlaced with the story line & kept me enthralled to the last page. Great writing Melinda 👍😊
