Kept my interest, Great Characters!

Great work for the narrator but this book is really boring. Try something else instead.

Disappointing. I normally enjoy Brown's books, and this does have her trademark fast-moving plot, cool setting (New Orleans this time) and well-drawn characters, but I just couldn't take how awful the main/viewpoint character is. We're supposed to feel sorry for him, yes, I get it, but he comes across as a self-centered jerk who doesn't care who he hurts as long as "he" gets his petty revenge. That includes innocent people and total bystanders. We are supposed to cheer, I guess, when he gets physically violent with someone, and when he intimidates other people into risking their lives for his stupid plans. Also, I get why he wanted revenge, but the ridiculously elaborate, mind-bogglingly stupid plot he comes up with just took me out of the story. When it was clear it was incredibly dangerous to innocent people, and when I found myself hoping one of the bad guys would shoot him, I had to bail. The narrator does a great job with this sub-par material.

Sandra Brown weaves suspenseful stories like no other. Wonderful story. Great narration. A five out of five stars.

Loved this book. The narrator was really good.

Great narrator. The book had me from the beginning. Absolutely awesome book.
