When her four year old daughter informs her a sick man is in their yard, Honor Gillette rushes out to help him. But that "sick" man turns out to be Lee Coburn, the man accused of murdering seven people the night before. Dangerous, desperate, and armed, he promises Honor that she and her daughter won't be hurt as long as she does everything he asks. She has no choice but to accept him at his word.
But Honor soon discovers that even those close to her can't be trusted. Coburn claims that her beloved late husband possessed something extremely valuable that places Honor and her daughter in grave danger. Coburn is there to retrieve it -- at any cost. From FBI offices in Washington, D.C., to a rundown shrimp boat in coastal Louisiana, Coburn and Honor run for their lives from the very people sworn to protect them, and unravel a web of corruption and depravity that threatens not only them, but the fabric of our society.
WHOOP, WHOOP!! I'm back with a book review!! WHOOO-HOOO!!
Any-way, LOL!! I just finished reading Lethal by Sandra Brown. I have to say that Sandra Brown is definitely one of my favorite authors of all time. I love her books because they are always so suspenseful and full of twists and turns that you never would have even expected. Although over the last couple of books while I enjoyed them they just did not feel like Sandra Brown to me. They were good but they weren't freaking awesome!! But I have to say Sandra Brown is finally back to her old self with this book.
I mean if you want a heart pounding action filled and all around sexy read then Sandra Brown is your girl. I am soo happy to say that with this book it felt like greeting an old friend. Trust me if you guys have never read Sandra Brown do yourself a favor and go out and get one of her books one of my absolute favorites of hers (and I've read more than once) is Where There's Smoke. I also like Slow Heat in Heaven, White Hot, The Switch, The Alibi, Mirror Image, Charade, Exclusive, Fat Tuesday, French Silk, White Hot, Texas! Chase, Texas! Sage, Texas! Lucky...and I could go on but I'll stop there!! :)
This book grabbed me from page one and literally had me breathless the whole way through. I am only giving it 4 stars though because I was just a little let down by the ending but overall it was still a very good and wonderfully suspenseful read.
Honor Gillette has been mourning the death of her husband for the last two years all while raising their only daughter. Honor wants nothing more than to live her life peacefully and raise her daughter.
All that is going fine until Lee Coburn enters her home looking for something that her husband hid that would implicate hundreds of people in a trafficking ring and also bring him closer to The Bookkeeper.
It takes everything Coburn has to convince Honor that he is not wanting to harm Honor or her daughter Emily that is just out for information and he was not the one responsible for the seven deaths at the trucking company he was working for.
Honor slowly begins to realize that Coburn is possibly telling the truth and while he thinks her late husband Eddie is probably part of the huge illegal ring in Tambour, Lousiana she still stands firm in believing that Eddie was a good cop and she sets out to prove not only to Coburn but to herself that Eddie was.
Soon Honor is doubting everything and everyone she has ever known and it all leads to the shocking reveal of The Bookkeeper.
I won't tell you guys anything more than that because I think you definitely need to read this and trust me you will be super shocked about who turns out to be The Bookkeeper...at least I know I was!!
Also like I said I wish she would have ended it a little differently but still a really good book!!
Happy Reading,
Mindy
