Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown, Ricochet is a sultry Savannah thriller filled with murder, betrayal, and unexpected desire.

Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher is called to Judge Cato Laird’s opulent mansion after the judge’s trophy wife, Elise, shoots a man she claims was a burglar. But Duncan suspects her story conceals far more.

Despite warnings—even from his partner—Duncan is increasingly drawn to Elise, a woman whose beauty and secrets pull him into a dangerous investigation. Elise privately shares a shocking claim about Judge Laird’s involvement in a deadly conspiracy. Only as Duncan unravels the truth does he realize it may involve his nemesis, crime lord Robert Savich.

When Elise disappears, Duncan’s sense of duty and attraction collide. With new bodies turning up and loyalties shifting, he must decide what—and whom—to trust. Can he protect his career, his conscience—and the woman he wants most?

Ricochet blends steamy romantic suspense with high-stakes crime in Southern high society, offering twists, moral tension, and emotional heat set against Savannah’s haunting charm.

I bought this book at an airport before flying from the East to the West coast. I had read another Sandra Brown novel before and so I knew what to expect. I was not let down. Her stories are sexy crime thrillers. She enjoys leaving you guessing what the next twist in the story will be. In fact, she enjoys using the tactic of leaving a little cliffhanger at the end of each chapter, so that you can't wait to get to the next one. And she doesn't immediately gratify the reader with a solution to the previous cliffhanger, but rather lets it hang for a little while. This is not great literature. It is what I like to call junk food for the brain, but it's satisfying nonetheless.

A very good and interesting story. I love how Ms. Brown's stories are complicated and how she resolves the complications! :) So, why only 4 stars? It's because the romantic part of the story seemed rushed. I couldn't feel the connection between Duncan and Elise. I couldn't understand, besides the inst......more

Things get started when Detective Duncan Hatcher is called to the home of Judge Cato Laird's home where his wife, Elise had shot and killed an intruder. What follows during the investigation is lots of intrigue and subterfuge. It's an interesting story with a slow start and an exciting second half.......more

#RitaBrown 3,5 Es una novela con una trama de suspense muy bien llevada y ágil. El romance queda en más en un segundo plano. Duncan es un policía muy profesional y honrado, con principios muy claros que lucha por mantenerlos hasta que la atracción que siente por Elise se hace cada vez más fuerte. Sient......more
