Book Description:
The death of police detective Jay Burgess is big news in Charleston, especially since TV reporter Britt Shelley was in his bed when he expired. Despite her insistence that she has no memory of the evening, Britt's future isn't looking very bright. Then, just when she thinks things couldn't get worse, she's kidnapped. Britt's abductor is Raley Gannon who was a hotshot fireman before his career was ruined in an incident similiar to hers; in his case the corpse was a woman he met at a party given by his best friend--Jay. Raley thinks both he and Britt are being used as pawns in some kind of sick game, and he wants to know why. But the answer, they soon learn, is lurking behind a dangerous smoke screen of lies, betrayal...and murder.

Not one of her best. I've enjoyed Sandra Brown's suspense books in the past, but this one fell short. It started off strong, and then fizzled out. I ended up skimming parts of it and had to practically make myself finish it. It could've been a hundred pages shorter and still told the story. I'm glad I checked it out at the library and didn't waste a credit here. I wouldn't recommend it.

Really loved the characters in this book. They just seemed "real to me". Lots of turns, but always turn out to be a happy ending when I turn the last page. Sandra brown's books always leave me happy that I read the story.

Another good whodunit but a bit long/slow in the beginning. The final third of the book was great. I think if it was 100 pages shorter the story would have been more gripping. As a side note, Ms. Brown uses "got" instead of "gotten" in many of her sentences, which may or may not be proper grammer depending on her particular meaning.
