Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors, I love her romances because they mix her amazing ability to create mystery with sexual relationships. Fat Tuesday is not what I would call a romance. There is one real love scene and it is at the end of the book. However, the mystery is worthy of the Sandra Brown name. It does get a little slow from the middle to the last 3/4 of the book but the ending is filled with twists and turns. I enjoyed listening to the story but, I don't think it will be one that I listen to multiple times such as her books Envy or Breath of Scandal.

Good story with fun twists and characters which is almost negated by the repetitive junior high descriptions of sex and the childish terms of female anatomy. Please leave out the graphic sexual narrative OR write it for adult readers!

Thanks for getting the unabridged version. It is SO much better than the abridged. Mr. Garrett was the perfect narrator.

I very much enjoyed Sandra Brown's "Envy". It seems like she has written quite a few books and received many good reviews so I figured I would Give "Fat Tuesday" a try. It is way over dramatized, predictable and the language is weird. I think this book is suppose to be a steamy/thriller mystery but with sentences like "men that are ravenous don't eat neatly" it is far from it. Seriously I can not imagine anyone talking like that. To me the book was so bad that I thought it was kind of funny. I ended up listening to it in 2X the speed and I think it would be better if I could have listened to it in speed 3 or 4. I did finish the book on the other reviewers recommendation but all in all not so good and it's a definite thumbs down from me

The voices of the characters help you create an image of them, better than reading alone would.

The most memorable was the ending, it had a twist I had not seen comming, it scared me.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was when to escape he had to punch his friend in the bait shop, it was very funny.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book mad me laugh a lot, I did not cry, but I did get very upset and nervous when I wasn't sure what was going to happen.

I enjoyed this book. I'm a big Sandra Brown fan. I've read her novels since she wrote pure romance. Jack Garrett did a good job narrating. Maybe because this is an older recorded book, sometimes it sounded like he needed a drink of water. I did appreciate the fact he did not go overboard with the voices. I've only heard a few books where the voices don't drive me nuts. This one was done well.

I've grown accustomed to her books & their sensuality. At first, I found it a bit shocking but now it does add quite a bit to the characters' personalities. This particular book is one of Sandra Brown's best. Even the narrator with his deep slow drawl fit quite well.

Good book. Narrator was good. Romance in the story was a bit neglected. It was not fully developed. Overall story was gripping and kept you wanting to hear more.
I like a good romance as much as the next lonely house wife, but sometimes it’s nice to have a plot with some good intrigue and suspense as the main dish,with the right dab of the mushy-fall- in-love as a garnish.
Narration was great.
Story was riveting.
I am certainly addicted to Sandra Brown's
novels. She has a way with her lineup of narrators as well. This is one great Recorded Book.
