Twisted Truth (Rogue Justice #1) by Melinda Leigh

Twisted Truth by Melinda Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Detective Seth Harding receives a call of possible shots fired and rushes to the scene only to make a gruesome discovery, two victims have been gunned down in their home. As the property is being searched another shocking discovery is made when they find a young boy being held in the basement chained up. The child obviously is completely afraid of the detectives as they try to free him from his prison so Seth calls in his wife who works for CPS.

Carly is still reeling from a previous case but knows if her husband is calling her in the middle of the night that there is a child that desperately needs her. After arriving at the scene to pick up the boy Carly finds that he will not talk and tell what has happened to him so it’s up to the detectives to find out just who the boy is and where he came from and to track down the killer that is on the loose.

Twisted Truth by Melinda Leigh is the first book in the romantic suspense Rogue Justice series. This book is a little different for this genre in the fact that the main characters are already married and have an established relationship. Seth is protective of Carly in their relationship but knows she is strong enough to be the best at her job and trusts her being brought into the case.

Having read Melinda Leigh before I knew that I should be in for a very good read and I wasn’t disappointed in the least. From the very first pages the story is full of action and moves by at a very fast pace. My only complaint which isn’t too much of a complaint though is I wouldn’t have minded if the story weren’t fleshed out more and made into a full length novel since this one is only a novella. Still with being a short read there was tons packed into the story and I would definitely recommend checking this one out.
