Pre-Lenten

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.

Sandra Brown is one of the Greatest Authors period

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.

Good story!

Would you consider the audio edition of Fat Tuesday to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version

What other book might you compare Fat Tuesday to and why?

I just happen to really like Sandra Brown's books. Some better than others.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I like to savor a book, and can seldom read in one sitting.

Brown Does Not Disappoint

Sandra Brown is an author that I can count on to keep me entertained. In this book Jack Garrett did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.

Kept me guessing

I truly enjoyed the story. Every time I put it down, I was anxious to get back to it. Pinky, as a bad guy, was obvious, but I was intrigued as to the other person misbehaving.

Worth the credit

I love Sandra Brown. The book gives us romance and mystery with memorable characters.
Jack Garrett's narration was wonderful.

Excellent!

Great story and thoughtful presentation. It depicted corruption of the police land the justice department while weaving in a love story.

Great Sandra Brown

I must admit I did see the twist coming in this book, they all have them, still in her fashion, Sandra puts out another great story...my first listening to jack Garrett,,, he was definitely an asset , will not hesitate on his narration as it comes available...

Predictable popcorn

I hated myself for enjoying this but if you want a lightweight read that does not require a lot of your attention while you shop or clean on the weekends, then this book is for you. The characters are cut-out but the plot moves rapidly if not somewhat improbably. And you learn a little about life in the Louisiana swamps.

Not my Favorite SB

I've read quite a few Sandra Brown novels so far and have really enjoyed them. this one just did not hit for me. I didn't buy the romance between the two main characters. the tension between the love interests that I think Sandra Brown is kind of famous for at this point just did not exist between the two characters. We're able to hear inner monologue and yet we never really hear her have feelings for him until they suddenly kiss at almost the end of the book. and I couldn't enjoy the moment because I didn't really feel that she had in any way expressed that this would be something she'd be open to. Even he doesn't really express feelings for her beyond thinking that she's beautiful and having somewhat of an innate attraction to her. in the last two chapters of the book he kind of explains why he thinks she's special, but everything up to that was pretty superficial. The book is kind of long and drawn out, there's definitely lulls in the activity. There is a nice few twists at the end but overall this was extremely disappointing and kind of felt like a waste of time. I spent a lot of time waiting for things to pick up but the overall pace of the book was pretty slow and didn't really keep my attention the way that other SB books have.
