Smoke Screen by Sandra Brown

blondierocket's review against another edition

3.0

Another mystery, another city. In this new book, a reporter and a former fire fighter are thrown together by life threatening circumstances. Britt Shelley was a rising star, until she woke up next to the naked and dead body of a former fling. Now she’s accused of murder, and the only person who can save her is Raley Gannon, who experienced the same exact thing, five years prior.

Together, the two go on the run to save their lives and try and find out how their situations, three mysterious deaths and a police station fire are all attached.

Very entertaining, keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen, not trusting anyone, and thoroughly surprised in they last moments.

It was good but I haven't enjoyed Sandra Brown's books as much as I did a few years ago when I was obsessed with them. But ofc it was still good just didn't blow my mind

3.5 stars rounded up.
I really ended up enjoying this book.
Raley is a character that really grew on me and Britt was good too.
I more so enjoyed reading on and the pieces falling into place.
