While stationed in Afghanistan, Major Grant Barrett receives word that his brother and sister-in-law have been murdered. Taking a month leave, Grant hurries home to take care of his orphaned niece and nephew. The police believe the murders may have been random. But both Grant and neighbor Ellie Ross know better. Ellie has received threats against her family if she doesn't produce some information that Grant's brother had concerning a lawsuit. Neither Grant nor Ellie know exactly what they're looking for. But they know they must come up with the information to keep everyone safe.
The first book in Melinda Leigh's Scarlet Falls series is satisfying. I liked following the clues and trying to figure out who killed these people. There were several suspects in the story. I locked in on a particular person, but I was wrong. I was lukewarm on the romance between Grant and Ellie. Actually, I wouldn't have minded not having a romance in this book at all. In my opinion, it didn't add much to the story. My rating: 4 Stars.
