Ricochet

Sandra Brown once again delivers a great book!! In my opinion, this is by far one of her best books, if not her Best Book. No author delivers suspense/ romance better than Sandra Brown. This story was constantly moving, never a dragging or a dull moment. All of the characters were interesting and engaging. In some of her books at the end, the lead male character disappears for weeks at a time and when he finally shows up in his ladys life again the female character is always only mildly annoyed but is still in love and happy to see him. (which always struck me as kind of unrealistic) This ending was so much better because at least Duncan and Elise stayed in each others life while Duncan was temporarily suspended. He didnt just vanish and then suddenly reappear. The ending was unpredictable and ended in such a shocking and surprising way. It was so good. I wanted Duncan and Elises story to continue because it was so passionate and caring. I would love for Sandra Brown to write another book with the same main characters as this one. Duncan and Elise were such strong people in the story it would be great to see another novel with them in it. DeeDee was cool too.

boring – started skipping pages to muck thru the tedious meaningless gazillion words to describe something simple- also too many minor characters who did not have much to do with the storyline and these characters would appear here and there and you could not remember who they were – – the main character was bowled over by the woman character and it was just not believable in fact it was silly – yes it is fiction but this whole book was a waste of time

RICOCHET, a Sandra Brown novel, takes place in the city of Savannah and centers around homicide Detective Duncan Hatcher, a tough-minded and ruggedly handsome cop. His partner, Dee Dee Bowen, often misjudged as a lesbian, is a smart strongly opinionated and dedicated detective whose primary job is to cover Hatchers six. Superior Court Judge Cato Laird sets killer Robert Savich free on a minor jury technicality. This infuriates Duncan Hatcher who has spent months building a case against Savich for a grisly murder. Hatcher and Dee Dee are later called to the home of Judge Laird to investigate the killing of an apparent burglar by the judges young, beautiful and seductive trophy wife, Elise. A series of moral and ethical missteps follow involving Hatcher and the judges wife that could compromise the murder investigation. Dee Dee goes ballistic and threatens to sever their partnership. Brown does a good job of developing Dee Dee and Hatchers charactersnot so good with the others. There are times when the story falls flat, but in general it keeps the reader involved and turning pages. I enjoyed the book. I would like to see the main charactersthe detectivesin a follow-on novel. Youll like the ending although its a bit over the top. I rate Ricochet a 4 on a 5 scale.

This was my first time reading a book by Sandra Brown and I don\’t think I will be reading another anytime soon. The storyline was mediocre and the characters are one dimensional. The book is wayyy over priced and must be based on the authors\’ name alone which I think is outragious and totally disrespectful to first time readers of her work and her die hard fans. The first 52% of this book was so boring that I almost stopped reading but pressed on hoping it would get better. Quite honestly it did pick up a little after this point but the storyline was still trite and ordinary. Duncan\’s obcession with the suspect felt \”over the top.\” I assume he is very attractive but since he wasn\’t adequately described I can\’t say to what extent. Drooling over the \”hero\” is half the fun. Yes, sex scenes are referenced but sadly there are no evocative or titillating details. If there had been it may have helped. On 2nd thought I doubt it. Save you money!

The police have been trying for years to get enough evidence to convict career criminal Savich. Just when everything seems ready to go to trial, Judge Laird lets Savich off on a technicality. Duncan Hatcher has spent years trying to get a conviction,but his emotional outburst in the courtroom only gets him a couple of nights in jail for contempt of court. Everything gets even more complicated when Duncan meets the beautiful Elise, Judge Laird\’s wife. There are instant sparks between them, even when Duncan and his partner Dee Dee are called to the judge\’s house after Elise has shot and killed a home invader. Elise arranges a secret meeting with Duncan to tell him that her husband is trying to kill her. Can Duncan believe her, or is she setting him up? Once again Sandra Brown tells a riveting story with flawed, but fascinating characters, well worth the time to read and savour.
