Sunburn

On Spain's Costa Brava, passion and intrigue are everywhere - especially in the hearts of those who dwell there. As the dictator Franco teeters on the edge of overthrow, two couples are entwined. One is a husband and wife bored with the existence they have drifted into, the other a passionate, combative pair who relish every moment of life.

Into this potent mix comes a young American seeking his missing lover - bringing a shadow of danger into the machinations already at work. Soon, loyalty will be tested and blood will be shed as the country of Spain prepares for revolution. And none of them - lovers, fighters, man or woman - will ever be the same.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A terrific yarn-spinner." (Chicago Sun Times)
"Lescroart's a pro." (Jonathan Kellerman)

Drama not suspense

I read Lescoart for the mystery and suspense. This was more an exercise in character development. And, more about how some let life determine their destiny.

Sunburn

weak plot, do not waste your time or money.

Sunburn a disappointment

Couldn't finish this book. I've loved all of Lescroart's other books, but this, his first book, meandered on for too long. Didn't seem to have a plot. Certainly was not focused like his Dismas Hardy stories. It was Lescroart's first published book, so one might expect that it wouldn't have the impact of his later work.
