( ) One thing that attracted me to this novel is the fact that heroine is in law enforcement. Finally, there is a romantic suspense novel in which the heroine is a strong woman and not someone waiting to be rescued. Another plus is that Dane takes the time to explain some legal terms for those readers who may not understand them. As it is very detailed, it took me a while to read it, but that is a plus as it made it worth the price I paid for the book. Rebecca (Becca) Montgomery is a police officer at the San Antonio Police Department. Her sister, Danielle, has been missing for the past seven years and presumed dead, by both Becca and her mother. Their lives are torn apart and the disappearance has haunted Becca every day since and possibly putting her job on the line, as she seeks justice for her sister. When a fire breaks out at an old theatre and the skeletal remains of what is believed to be that of a young woman show up, Becca is put on the case. Was the fire set to cover up the bones and if so, why after all of this time? Diego Galvan, a dark mysterious stranger appear, before Becca. He seems to know several things about her, even down to her coffee preference. Becca wonders who this dangerous looking man is and if he is out to harm or help her. She soon finds out that Diego is working for one of the most feared mob bosses, Cavanaugh. Becca has a feeling that Cavanaugh is the one responsible for the remains of the dead girl. She begins to ask questions - questions that may put both her and Diego’s lives in danger. Things are not always as they appear, however, nor are people who they appear to be. No One Heard Her Scream delves into the most heinous of crimes imaginable. As I started reading this, I was reminded a bit of Wendy Corsi Staub’s writing. I think that anyone who enjoys her style of writing will also enjoy Jordan Dane’s. This was a hard to put down book, from beginning to end. A roller coaster ride of suspense, twists and turns, with a dash of romance. A small warning, however - there are a couple of graphically disturbing sexual scenes within the story. They all are relevant to the story, but can easily be skipped over if one wishes. Jordan Dane has two upcoming release: No One Left To Tell, which comes out in May and No One Lives Forever, which will be released in June. I am anxious to read both of these. This wonderful debut, lends great promise to a talented writer who I am sure has a very bright future ahead of her! This was a wonderful read. Suspense, and romance is possible in one story, and you will get it here. The characters are not only believable but compelling. Becca, a homicide detective has a sister who has gone missing. This tragedy in has affected her career and every aspect of her life. When an opportunity arises for her to investigate a case regarding remains found in her own hometown, she puts every effort into resolving another family’s tragic loss. In doing so, she begins to find her own strength and is able to confront and accept her own vulnerability. A book is only as good as its ending, in my opinion. This book has an amazing ending. All of the loose ends are tied up. All situations are resolved. This is a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and involved in every chapter. The ending is an even bigger payoff. I was in the mood for some light reading, but by "light" I didn't mean brainless nonsense. This is a horrible novel, filled with shallow, clichéd characters, ridiculous, inane dialogue, and a host of destructive stereotypes to round it out. The protagonist of this novel is a female detective - who is so good at her job, as soon as she meets a halfway attractive suspect, she falls into his deep, dark eyes and forgets she's supposed to question him. I can't believe this drivel was written by a woman. Way to reinforce negative stereotypes, Ms. Dane! I guess I should lump that in with the other prejudices this author wears on her sleeve, like the one whereby the Mexican family in her story has a beat down pick-up truck parked on their lawn, and their house smells like jalapeños and bell peppers. Is this woman for real? Not recommended even for the lightest of readers. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
