Sandra Brown

3.95 AVERAGE


I really really loved this one. Sandra Brown is the one author who gets me every single time with a curve ball at the end of the story. If you like suspense and mystery this is for you.

I pondered DNFing this, but I'm glad I finished because the ending made up for the beginning.  

I enjoy Sandra Brown books. This had a twist or two. Good but not great.
dark mysterious tense slow-paced

A fun mystery with a few twists I didn't expect. I could have done without the romance part -- it felt forced.

I am never disappointed with a Sandra Brown novel. Her characters are well-defined, the plot takes off from the first pages, and you're generally not willing to put the book down. This book was the same way.

A good read, even a second time.

This one was fantastic. Initially, I thought it was just a normal old crime novel, but towards the end a massive twist was revealed that I definitely did NOT see coming which made the whole thing that much more fascinating. FBI’s most wanted take down with a little romance is the way to my heart. Would LOVE to see this one adapted to film or tv.
