Publisher's summary

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.

LETHAL - GOOD STORY AND EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE !

Captivating- full of twists,turns and surprises - a GREAT listen. Makes me want to grab another Sandra Brown

Suspense...Romance...Surprise ending

Another great book by Sandra Brown. Great storyline and excellent performance by Victor Slezak. Envy is still my fav but Lethal is a close 2nd

Awesome!

I almost never write reviews but I had to praise this book. I couldn't listen to it fast enough! The story line was a tense mystery involving a lot of suspicious characters. The romance was subtle, believable, and flowed well. I had no idea who the bookmaker (bad guy) was until the end. Great narater that never distracted from the story. Five stars well deserved!

gripping

I wasn't sure I'd like this but it was a very pleasant surprise. I could NOT put it down, so to speak..

excellent book

absolutely loved this audiobook. so much we couldn't put it down. so many twists and turns.

Was long overdue for a pageturner like this!

Looked for excuses for long drives… this story had my attention! I have no negatives but one comment… why are all the perfect lovers found only in novels? Excellent story- had no idea who the bad guy was!

Great story

This one is at the top of my list of favorites . Very suspenseful and surprising up to the last sentence. I don't know how she does it, but I am so glad she writes such awesome books.

Another winner!

if you love mystery and Intrigue combined with romance Sandra Brown delivers again! I love her stories! I did guess who the bookkeeper was but I wasn't sure. I love how she keeps you guessing and love the Intrigue with the romance. I highly recommend

Awesome!

Just when you think your heart breaks, think again! Love this!! Sandra is an expert novelist.

3 ½ stars. Entertaining suspense story

but the author insulted me with the ending.

Boy, was I engrossed. I didn’t want to stop reading. It is a fun way to spend time as long as you can live with a let-down ending. I enjoyed 12 hours of the book, but I’ve been angry at the ending for 24 hours so far.

This is suspense and mystery. This type of story has been done hundreds of times by many authors. But this is well done because the author is a good writer. Good guy hero does smart things which pleased me. Bookkeeper is the main bad guy who has cops and FBI agents on his payroll. He orders murders of anyone who gets in the way. His business is transportation protection for smuggling drugs and humans (sex slave traffic) into the US from Mexico.

Coburn is accused of murdering seven people. He’s on the run and hides in the home of Honor and her four-year-old daughter. He searches her home looking for something he believes her late husband possessed. The cops, FBI, and bad guys are hunting Coburn. Honor soon learns that her life is in danger as well.

I wanted to know more about Bookkeeper. It was hard to figure out how Bookkeeper first started doing all this and so powerfully - all by phone and never in person? Then we get a tell all at the end, which is not a good way to do a character.

My biggest complaint is the ending. I wanted one more sentence at the end (see spoiler). It was such an entertaining story, but then the author jerks you around and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I’m glad I read it, but the author insulted me, like she didn’t care if I liked her book. Before I purchased the book, I read other reviews which complained about the ending, so I prepared myself thinking this won’t be a romance. Just enjoy the story and expect them to separate in the end. I was ready for that. I was ok with that.

CAUTION SPOILER:
But then the author showed romance, and a desire to be together, which lit the romantic spark. The last scene is a possible meeting of the two, but it’s unfinished. The way it’s done, the reader “believes” they will get together. But the author leaves it hanging. So maddening!

The narrator Victor Slezak was excellent.

Genre: suspense mystery with an unknown potential romance.
