Love the book but not a fan of cliffhangers and this book definitely ends with one.

More like 3.5 stars but only due to clunky writing and sort of tired character tropes with not much (or forced) development. However, it definitely kept me intrigued and I didn't figure out the major plot mysteries til the end so... overall really enjoyable "fluff" read and I'll probably look into more from this author.

I think this is number one in a series. I also think I had read it before but enjoyed the story and was very, very surprised at who the "bookkeeper" was.

I devoured this novel in 2-3 days. That's how amazing and captivating it is.

It was an interesting book. But I wish the ending was not so ambiguous.

Honor Gillette is in the kitchen decorating cupcakes, when her four year old daughter, Emily comes in and tells Honor that there is a man in the yard. Honor goes outside to check on the man and before she can blink, the man hops up and holds a gun to her throat. The man is Lee Coburn. A mass murderer on the loose. As the police are closing in, Lee, Honor and Emily lead the authorities on a chase.
It has been a while since I have read a book by Ms. Brown. After reading this book, I will not let time pass between books. Lethal had me hooked from the beginning. I literally was carrying this book around the house with me reading just a little more until I had read the very last word. This book is Lethal to your sleeping habits as you just might not get any sleep!
Though, I could tell where the story line was going, it was the twists and turns that had me. Honor may be a kidnap victim but this did not stop her from trying to still fight back and escape. Do not mistake a mother’s love for her child as weakness. When you put a mother in a situation like this, she is like a tigress…waiting for the perfect moment to attack her prey. Lee was the wild card in the book. I can not really explain why without giving away any spoilers.

Very riveting! However, I did not like the ending - no cliffhangers for me!
