Wonderful mystery with a great plot that doesn't give up its' secrets until the action packed ending. I have always loved Melinda Leigh and her books are consistently top notch. I don't know if the Morgan Dane Series is going to continue, but I hope it will. I love the Dane family and how they have opened their hearts and home to others. The depiction of the kids is spot on and so funny.

Save Your Breath
3.5 Stars

In this final installment of the series, Morgan Dane and her colleagues look into the disappearance of true-crime writer Olivia Cruz. The investigation soon reveals connections to two cold cases, but why would someone want Olivia gone?

While this book is a significant improvement on the previous one and is a satisfying read overall, there are still some issues with Leigh's writing style. In this particular case, the resolution lacks foundation, and there is absolutely no ...more

FULL REVIEW POSTED 7/19/24:

This review covers Books 2-6 of the Morgan Dane Series
After finishing the entire Series, I can’t begin to describe the emotional ride I’ve been on. I have loved Morgan, her closely-knit family, friends and especially her new-found-love with Lance.

Each book brings a new and intriguing and oftentimes frightening and devastating case for Morgan, Lance and Sharp to solve – sometimes hitting too close to home.

The forward movement in growth by all the characters just increas ...more

3.25 stars.

This one was a bit strange. On the one hand, it was quite suspenseful after the kidnapping. On the other hand, there were so many red herrings and the raison d'être provided at the end there got a "Wait What?!" from me as it seems very unbelievable.

Anyhow, I'm glad we got to the wedding and that scene at Morgan's dead husband's grave at the end there with Lance and Ava was quite poignant. It's been a couple of years since this book was written. I'm hoping that Ms Leigh will continue w ...more

There was a fair amount of suspense in this book. Lots of angst {as would be expected} over the disappearance {kidnapping} of one of the newer main characters in this series. I could not sort out all the suspects until the very end, which was basically not getting the connection at all!

I have liked this series from the beginning, and one major event did fit in before the end :-)
