We get a few “I love yous” between Bree and Matt. So per usual the main mystery/murder is our focus. But when another man is found dead a day or so later, it appears that Bree and Matt may be dealing with a serial killer. An investigation into the man’s past shows he could have made some of the women he dated angry (he was a three date max person) or it could have been his slightly estranged brother. Bree is called to a scene where a man is found with his head wrapped in plastic with his hands and legs tied. She’s worried about them and wants to spend some more time with them, but of course murder calls. She’s trying to deal with the fact that her niece and nephew are going to experience their first Christmas without their mother. Bree has come out in public that she is dating Matt.

“Lie to Her” takes place several months after the events in the last book. I loved that this one took on the world of online dating (did that, have the t-shirt, it’s bad out there) and how love can quickly turn to hate. It also had me kind of going well they sucked with the victims, but you feel some pity for the people they left behind. I was honestly surprised by the reveal of who it was too (which I always love) and loved the back and forth chapters following Bree and Matt via third person point of view to the first person point of the view of the murderer. Maybe because this is the first one where Leigh decided to have us follow the murderer the way we did. So this was a fantastic read in the Bree Taggert series. Please note I received this book via NetGalley.
