Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown is back with a spine-tingling story of murder and betrayal, and a homicide detective's struggle with his own rules of conduct.

When Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher is summoned to the home of Judge Cato Laird in the middle of the night to investigate a fatal shooting, he knows that discretion and kid-glove treatment are the key to staying in the judge's good graces and keeping his job.

At first glance, the case appears open-and-shut: Elise, the judge's trophy wife, interrupted a burglary in progress and killed the intruder in self-defense. But Duncan is immediately suspicious of Elise's innocent act. And further investigation quickly puts Duncan's career in jeopardy because he can't deny his increasing attraction to Elisa Laird, even if she is a married woman, a proven liar, and a murder suspect.

Ricochet's plot twists, as only Sandra Brown can write them, make this a gripping thriller, in which a decent cop's worst enemy may be his own conscience...and trusting the wrong person could mean the difference between life and death.

One of her best

Just another solid Sandra Brown. Kept me listening way into the night. Twists and unexpected turns. A good one.

keeps you guessing

it kept me guessing until the very end. Very good. And as always nothing but the best from Sandra Brown.

Thank you Sandra Brown

Ricohet maybe the most touching, entertaining romantic mystery listen of my experience. Outstanding reading, audio reproduction quality, intense character development, magnificant plot fill me with joy and appreication for living in a world where such art florishes. Sandra Brown's grasp of human nature, and creativity in interuptating this nature in her characters simply holds me in awe. For me, this was a wonderful experience.

Good but not as good as Envy

I love the narrator. The story is good. The romance is ok. Envy is still the best.

I enjoyed the Sandra Brown's newest book & am enamored with this way of "reading" after listening to my first couple of audio books. It was also nice to see two main characters that were not paragons but had real life flaws.
The narration lacked a lot. The narrator made Elise sound as if she was whining virtually all the time. This does not endear her to a listener. Being new to audio books & without reading the book, it's impossible to tell if this is how Brown intended her to come across. But she usually has stronger female characters.

great story

loved it, great story line, told very well, real page turner did not disappoint at all

Grabbed me from the Prologue.

I truly enjoyed this book. All the way thru. Good characters developed slowly and well done. Loved the Savannah Ga setting.

Good Book

I would recommend this book as the story keeps you wondering what is around the next corner and I could not put it down. I did, however, not even like the main female character, Elise, and I think this was due mostly to the narrator. I found the voice of Elise very irritating. In spite of this I enjoyed it for the most part. Wish the other female character (Dede) had been developed more - we hardly got to know her.

Great Story

I really. liked this story. The narration was OK although I like some other narrators better the story kept me interested right until the end. One comment on the Sandra Brown books, she has a couple great male narrators, and I do not like her books narrated by a female voice, it just does not work for me. This narrator was good, it was a male voice narration, I have heard better narrators, but the story was what kept me going.
