As co-owner and features editor of a popular magazine, Leah McDevitt loves exploring exotic locales while she tracks fashion and social trends across the globe. Yet despite her devotion to her fast-paced career, Leah is haunted by the memory of her cherished younger sister Melissa, who years ago disappeared without a trace. So when convicted serial killer Raymond Lambert contacts her, Leah is more than willing to pay him the long-standing reward for information leading to the recovery of Melissa's body.
But before Lambert can turn over all his information, he himself is killed.

Mary B. S. from SAINT LOUIS, MO wrote on 9/1/2008...A serial killer tells a magazine writer that he can tell her where her murdered sister is buried. They strike a deal but before he can tell her he is murdered. Her last hope is to talk to the writer who wrote the killers biography. Very good story
Tonya B. (Pretty good book, although sometimes the suspense gets dragged down by lengthy descriptions of setting, especially toward the end. Interesting plot.

This book will be enjoyed by readers of mystery and romance novels alike.
I love Romantic Suspense. I particularly love it when an author whose work I've enjoyed moves to romantic suspense without sacrificing the romantic element of the story. Mariah Stewart has done this with BROWN EYED GIRL. Gripping suspense, but passionate romance together in a book readers won't be able to put down once they start.
Leah McDevitt is a features editor for a well-known magazine whose younger sister has been missing for several years. When a man who is on death row says he might have some information regarding her, Leah is anxious to meet with him. She does so, but the meeting does not lead to any concrete information instead the convicted killer wants money. Leah agrees to send him half now, half after he gives her more info. But, before he is able to reveal what he knows, he is killed by another prison inmate.
Leah is crushed. Just when she thought she might have some peace of mind she is crushed again. She seeks the help of the only other person she knows might be able to give her assistance, Ethan Sanger, the author of a book on the killer Leah talked to in prison. But Ethan is reluctant to share this information because in doing so, he will have to relive memories he's spent years trying to forget.
Nail biting suspense ensues when Leah realizes her own life is in danger. This is a highly recommended read.

Really enjoyed this book. Now I am reading Voices Carry because it has some of the people from Brown-Eyed Girl in it.
