This book is very well written. The characters are lifelike and the story is so suspenseful that you can’t put it down. There is also some sweet romance .

You never disappoint. I’m serious. Your book are this “ You can barrow one of my Sandra Brown books, but you must return it.

Suspenseful until the end. Twists everywhere, even when you thought you knew what was going on. . Kept one wondering at all times. Loved the ending. Great writing.

Love 📚reading her amazingCharacter and Plots!

Bristling with Brown's trademark suspense, Ricochet stars upstanding police detective Duncan Hatcher, frustrated with his inability to nail criminal extraordinaire, Robert Savich. Savich has recently gone free despite being guilty of murder, courtesy of smooth, handsome judge Cato Laird calling a mistrial. Before he knows who she is, Duncan finds himself attracted to Judge Laird's beautiful wife, Elise. When she is involved in a fatal shooting at their posh residence, Duncan knows she's hiding at least part of the truth. There is evidence to suggest the situation was more than a break-in and shooting in self defense, and Duncan and his partner Dee Dee are reluctant to close the case too quickly. Duncan finds himself violating his personal code of ethics when Elise Laird secretly approaches him with a story about her life being in danger. He doesn't believe a word of what she says, but he still finds himself irresistibly drawn to her. Evidence is piling up against her, and then Elise disappears at the same time another body shows up.Since Sandra Brown writes romantic suspense, I knew there had to be more to Elise than met the eye. There are a number of red herrings along the way, as well as a great deal of intrigue to help keep me turning the pages. Brown likes to write about characters in seemingly impossible situations, combined with a lack of trust bordering on dislike that makes romance seem unlikely, yet through the unraveling of intrigue, they work through all their issues and manage a happily ever after. She does that in this book with a great deal of skill, creating characters with depth for this first-class mystery. The villains are chillingly evil, and the odds against the good guys seem impossible. This is excellent romantic suspense.

I did not like the main character, or the premise of the story. I think this cop was so out of line and stupid. To think a good cop/detective would get involved with a crime suspect made me ill. I kept thinking how dumb can he be? And he hides stuff from his partner. Totally unprofessional throughout. Maybe the ending is supposed to make everything honky-dory, but not for me.

This is the best book I've read in a long time. I could not believe how poor Elise was treated. I even began to think she was a bad person. The author keeps you guessing.
