Search - French Silk

i really liked this book.i do not normally like romance books but this book had such an excellent plot that the romance hardly got in the way. extremely well conceived plot- i read alot of mysteries and this one kept me guessing til the end

Claire Laurent was a women who embodied all of New Orleans sultry paradoxes:beauty mixed with a mysterious elusiveness, a vibrant zest for living shadowed by secrets and hidden passions.Yet she had fought hard to make her fabulous lingerie mail order business,French Silk,into a worldwide success. Now, the three deadly bullets that killed a tv evangelist could snatch everything away from her,even her life.
Was the killer Claire?? Destrict Attourny Robert Cassidy knew she was daming herself with lie after lie about the murder, even as he felt powerful emotions drawing him into her world adn her very soul.But neither Cassidys love nor her protests of innocence could save Claire unless she revealed a shocking truth -a revelation of sins and shame she had vowed to take to the grave.

Set in New Orleans in the 1990s, this mystery/romance has it all -- an exciting venue, a mysterious murder, a controversy (corrupt televangelists), sex and romance. The heroine is compelling, and her love interest is passionate. I thought I knew 'who done it,' but a twist at the end surprised me! This is a fun read by one of the best authors of the contemporary mystery/romance genre.

Sandra Brown is so prolific that it is just difficult to critique her books. This one is worth the read.

execellent read.

This book is about a women who owns a lingerie company. She finds herself the main suspect in the murder of a televangelist who has tried to shut down her company from the pulpit. Of course, the Assistant D.A. who is trying to find the murderer falls for the main suspect, the beautiful Claire. There is sexual tension throughout the book as Mr.Cassidy tries to prove that Claire didn't kill the evangelist, but all the clues point to her. A good book from Sandra Brown.
