    This was an intriguing story with psychological twists, emotional turmoil, and heartbreaking tragedies that affected many people for years. When unforeseen actions bring the past to the present, it becomes a race for the Task Force to figure everything out before more people are hurt. It's not a story that you'll want to miss.
    I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

    Great read. Back and forth trying to solve Butcher Murders again will keep you guessing. When you think you have the answer something happens to grow off. Teamwork is really the answer. As the team will convince you. Read on my friends.

    Guess who’s back?! Yep, it’s Bridget Bishop! This is book 4 of the series and Melinda Woodall has written another great one. I’m still debating if I liked this or the third book better. Either way, they’re all great and I really think that you should put them on your TBR list, in order of course.

    Before I go any further, I would just like to let you know that I received an ARC from BookSirens and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

    What I liked about this book is that it went back and gave us more of the history of the Backroads Butcher and even brought that character and some info about his victims back. Bridget left the BAU because of how things played out with this case and it had been the star of quite a bit of her nightmares. Well, you guessed it, she’s been brought back in to help the BAU with this case.

    Melinda’s characters are continuing to grow and Bridget even makes a pretty big lifestyle change, before this book ends. I’m really looking forward to reading book 5 because it’ll answer questions that I’ve had since book one.

    I don’t think there’s much that I didn’t like about this book, other than it not being an edge of your seat, nail biter. I think that’s just fine. We don’t always need those kinds of books. It actually allowed me to get some other things done while I was taking a break (like sleep because of these horrible migraines)!

    Anyway, I still would recommend these to everyone that loves a good mystery. I would even recommend that you start following Melinda Woodhall because she’s got some other great series out there, not just Bridget Bishop.

    As always, Happy Reading and/or Listening! 📚🎧💜

    Bridget Bishop is back and her worst nightmare has come to life. The case that haunts her that caused her to resign from the BAU is back and that killer might be getting a new trial. And suddenly the team and Bridget are back in a nightmare and trying their best to find that killer again. The victims’ families are in danger, the press is hounding them and the clock is ticking. Can they find the evil before it spreads or will they be too late to stop it from spreading?
    These books are all encompassing, heart pounding, can’t put the book down thrilling! The way we see the case from multiple perspectives both the FBI and the killer’s make the stories special. It’s not just a police procedural it’s a real time experience and we are seeing things unfold from both sides. At times it’s graphic this one especially due to the MO of the killer. Even that doesn’t take away from the fantastic story telling of the author. This book is a can’t miss read!
    I received an advance review copy and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    The Backroads Butcher was found guilty of 8 murders. He denied killing one woman and now new DNA results proved it was someone else. A court hearing was underway when he escaped after killing a guard. The hunt was on to capture him again before he killed again.

    This is the second series of Woodhall's I've read. And I'm flying through these as quickly as I did the the Mercy Harbor books.

    Woodhall doesn't disappoint. Her characters, both the good and evil ones, lure you into the stories and their lives.

    If you like good, quick to read thrillers that keep you guessing, you should give Woodhall a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    That being said, I need to go and start reading book 5 in this series.

    When the past repeats itself but worse. Bridget has alluded to this case from book one…it is the worst of the worst and now he is free and the killings have picked back up, but everything is not what it seems. Some major surprises with who is doing what and relationships are changing. Loved seeing the character development on everyone in the core team and how the romance is more known for two couples and the family dynamics is more present for others. I was thrown by the ending and am excited for the next book with that cliffhanger. Each book gets better!
