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.

    "Dumb Detective"
    By Sandra (Kansas City, MO, USA) Oct 27, 2006
    The main character is supposed to be a skilled veteran police detective but he is just dumb. The story would have been better if this detective had some skills. This is the first book I've read by this author and I won't go out of my way to look for others.

    "Ricochet - Trouble bonding with characters"
    By Lu (Duluth, GA, USA) Aug 24, 2006
    Sandra Brown is by far my favorite author, and I always look forward to her novels. I will say I listened to this audiobook almost non-stop, so it gripped me to the point where I had trouble shutting it off. However, I kept looking for the book to pull me in and it never quite made it. Mostly, I had trouble bonding with the heroine, Elise. This was most likely because very little of the book came from her person. Also, I think the narrator made her sound like a dumb nimcumpoop. I enjoy and expect strong heroines from Sandra Brown and I don't think we got one here. She worked so hard to keep the intrigue with the character, that I think this took away from really appreciating her. In the end, I couldn't quite feel the love story. Oh, yes, they fell in love, but I read it and didn't feel it. Overall, the story was good and I did enjoy it...just not one of my favorites from Sandra Brown.

    "Good Book"
    By Sandra (Brentwood, CA, USA) Mar 9, 2007
    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.

    "ricochet"
    By Howard (Pleasant Hill, CA, USA) Sep 17, 2006
    Got about half way through before I gave up. Tried to figure out which was worse, the narration or the book. I decided the narration was worse, but not by much.

    "Disappointing At Best"
    By Joey (Manchester, WA, USA) Aug 29, 2006
    I can't believe this book was actually written by the same Sandra Brown that I have enjoyed for many years. I have listened to most of her novels but this one is a "bust". Her main character, disguised as a Detective Sargeant, is so utterly lacking in skills as a law enforcement officer that it was laughable.The rest of the charactors are equally frustrating, stupid, and unbelieveable. I know that fiction is fiction but this was ridiculously presented as a romantic/thriller/mystery, etc. and came off looking like a quickie novel with very little thought put into it. I actually gave some thought to abandoning this book half way through but continued on hoping it would redeem itself......didn't happen. Take a pass on this one and I'm sorry I didn't.

    "Not what I thought"
    By Joanna (Longmont, CO, USA) Aug 27, 2006
    It is not Sandra Brown's fault that I thought I was buying a true detective story rather than a romance genre plot (with a detective in it). I am only 4 hours into the audio book and I hope to finish it just to see how the detective part turns out. I am not criticizing those who enjoy the romance genre but personally I don't care for all the heaving chests and swooning, the breathiness and palpitating hearts. To me it is simply distracting from what might be a decent detective novel. I bought the book bargaining for a good detective story which I read a lot of and enjoy. I also agree with the earlier reviewer in that it is hard to like or identify with the heroine. The best character so far is the lady detective. Oh well. Just move it to the Romance section.

    "Thank you Sandra Brown"
    By Henry (Littleton, MA, USA) Oct 6, 2006
    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.

    "Ricochet"
    By Rogers (Fairfield, IA, USA) Aug 27, 2006
    Gripping but not fulfilling. The plot moved right along with many twists and turns. However, there was somewhat of a soap opera element and the romance element never quite clicked.
