Mean Streak

De: Sandra Brown

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

In this New York Times bestselling thriller, a doctor is kidnapped in the mountain wilderness after a fight with her husband -- and as the FBI closes in, she must make dangerous choices to survive.

Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina minutes after an argument with her husband Jeff. But by the time he reports her missing, the trail has (literally) gone cold. Fog and ice encapsulate the wilderness and freeze the search.

While police suspect Jeff of "instant divorce," Emory regains consciousness only to find herself the captive of a man whose violent past is so dark he won't even tell her his name. She's willing to take any risks necessary to survive.

But before she can escape, the two encounter dangerous people who adhere to their own code of justice. A desperate young woman is caught at the center of a dispute, and Emory can't bring herself to look the other way, even if it means breaking the law. Rising tension and barely restrained passion blurs the lines between right and wrong, and Emory begins to wonder if the man with no name is the one who has rescued her from death . . . and from heartbreak.

Combining the nail-biting suspense and potent storytelling that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's best-loved authors, Mean Streak is a wildly compelling novel about love, deceit, and the choices we must make when our lives are on the line.

"Sandra Brown meticulously develops a stellar cast of characters, weaving them into a tense, gritty thriller that offers numerous plot twists leading to stunning revelations and a nail-biting conclusion....I'm now wondering why I waited so long to enjoy this talented author's work.

If it were possible, this is a page turner. Each character brought multiple surprises throughout this book making it that much more interesting.

Any additional comments?

Would love to see a follow up with the same characters...

I'll be reading more

This is my first Sandra Brown novel and I enjoyed it enough to pick up another one by this author. The book has plot twists (most predictable) and likeable characters. My main complaint is a spoiler, so trying to be vague, the most important "event" is too hard to believe as conceived or executed.

loved it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Enjoyed this story as it had overlapping interior stories. It was a "page turner" so to speak but it was audio. I liked the fact that this book was lengthy in the good way and I feel I really got my money's worth.

Story Too Implausible

Good character development but storyline is just too unbelievable. Just not one of my favorite listens.

Sandra does it again

This book pulled me in right from the start. Exceptional story with just the right amount of twists and turns. It kept me guessing right up to the end.
