Book Description:
Cat Delaney was one of Hollywood's glitterati when tragedy struck. A heart transplant was the only thing that saved her life. Cat's near death experience prompted her to move out of the limelight to San Antonio, where she begins to host a television show about children with special needs, and to start a romance with writer Alex Pierce.

Everything is rosy until someone begins killing other patients who received heart transplants at the same time, and Cat begins to realize that everything and everyone around her may not be what they seem.

Wow........I had a hard time getting past the growing list of characters in this book...about 60 pages or so......then, i kept changing my mind until the last 8 or 10 pages of the book. Rarely do you see an author drag all the characters suspicions all the way to the final chapter like Sandra Brown did on this one....One of her best....earl h., meldrim, ga.
From the back cover.

A medical miracle gave TV personality Cat Delaney more than a new heart. It gave her a second chance at life. After leaving Hollywood to host a San Antonio TV show spotlighting children with special needs, Cat fights to gain respect as a newscaster. She meets Alex Pierce, an ex-cop turned crime writer, who regards her as a woman, not as a heart patient. When fatal "accidents" begin killing the other heart recipients, Alex may--or may not--be her most important ally. With her new world turning sinister and a mysterious stalker shadowing her every move, Cat is caught in a dark maze of betrayal and secrets..and perhaps sees too late the mask hiding a killer's face.

What an interesting concept for a novel: heart transplants! This was a very good book. It gave you a list of suspects in the beginning but didn't reveal the right one until the very end. Kept your interest. Would recommend to readers that like a little different theme to murder!

Another Sandra Brown suspense novel about a woman who gets a new chance at life through a heart transplant, only to have other recipients start turning up dead from "fatal accidents". Great read.
