Out of Nowhere par Sandra Brown

"Out of Nowhere" by Sandra Brown is a gripping tale of tragedy and resilience set against the backdrop of a Texas county fair. Children's book author Elle Portman and corporate consultant Calder Hudson are brought together by a horrifying shooting, sparking a quest for justice and an unexpected connection. Brown's masterful storytelling keeps readers on the edge of their seats with its fast-paced plot, well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes of redemption and the human spirit.

Hello, Darkness par Sandra Brown

Hello, Darkness was an engaging and exciting thriller which stars Paris Gibson and Dean Malloy. Paris is a former television reporter who became a radio personality while she was caring for her fiancé who was gravely injured in a car accident. He was mostly brain dead for the seven years she cared for him. He has recently passed away.

Dean Malloy was Paris's fiancé's best friend since their college days. After the accident, they lost track of each other primarily because Paris wanted it that way. Dean has been busy with his career as a psychologist and police officer. He has also been co-parenting with his ex-wife. Now his wife has remarried, and Dean has become the primary caretaker for his seventeen-year-old son Devin. He has also recently moved to Austin and taken his son with him. Devin isn't happy about the move and is rebelling and hanging out with unsuitable friends.

When Paris receives a threatening phone call while she is at work, she calls the police and goes to the police with a cassette of the call. She fears that the caller is not just venting but is really threatening the life of someone. The police sergeant calls in the new lieutenant who turns out to be Malloy. Now they are forced to confront each other and work together if they want to save the life of the missing woman.

There are lots of possibilities for the unknown caller including a sex addict, an ex-con, and still others. The story, published in 2003, talks about teenagers who are connecting for sex over the internet which also includes Dean's son Devin on the edge of that. It is also told from multiple viewpoints including that of the sex addict. The story didn't feel dated despite its age.

I liked that Paris and Dean were able to resolve their differences which were caused by guilt over their actions in the past. I thought the tension built nicely in the story. I'll admit that I was surprised by the villain of the story despite forming a poor opinion of him during the course of the story.… (plus d'informations)

Lethal par Sandra Brown

This is the story of Honor and her daughter, Emily. Honor's husband, Eddie, was killed in the line of duty as a police officer. One day, Emily comes into the house and tells Honor that there's a man in the yard taking a nap. Honor goes out to check on him and he takes her and Emily hostage in their own home. Coburn is looking for something Eddie had and Honor has no idea what he is referring to.

Coburn is accused of killing people at a shipping warehouse the night before he shows up at Honor's house. When Coburn realizes that the police are getting close, he takes Honor and Emily and they leave their home and go into hiding. Not only are the police looking for Coburn, so is The Bookkeeper, but nobody knows who The Bookkeeper is.

Very well written, lots of twists. Didn't expect the ending but it was all wrapped up nicely. Believable characters.… (plus d'informations)
