Also, try the Mackade Brothers' series.

while getting into the story, the plot, the characters, i couldnt help but feel as though nora roberts rushed thru this one. while i love a short book, and this one is a good one at that, i felt the delevopment of the people themselves couldve been elaborated on...a little more into the marriage of kath and her husband...where was the reaction of her son? ben feared tess working on this type of case because of something that had happened to her a few months back, but it never really went into that....these are things i wouldve enjoyed knowing, but nevertheless, this was a good read ::smile


I couldn't put the book down. I was totally absorbed in it.   March 3, 1998

I thought the book was fantastic. But, what Nora Robert's novel isn't. The first book I read of hers was "True Betrayals", and after that I just kept buying more and more of her novels. I especially liked Carnal Innocence. Keep them coming Nora!


Mystery writer meets cop; finds true love with a twist   February 9, 1997

Ms. Roberts writes absorbing, intriguing romance novels. In Brazen Virtue, the heroine is a murder mystery writer and the hero is a homicide detective. Unfortunately, blossoming love is interrupted (or is it enhanced) by the murder of the heroine's sister. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, as I have all of Ms. Roberts' books, but there were a few opportunities for development that were missed. For example, when the hero discovers that the heroine has an astronomical income in comparison to his, only three paragraphs or so are devoted to their discussion. I think with most relationships, that would have been a huge point of conflict and could have been discussed more thoroughly. Overall, though, this novel is very entertaining and well worth reading.
