Mean Streak by Sandra Brown

6/19/2015

 
I've been hooked on thrillers lately, and what list of thrillers would be complete without Sandra Brown?  I've read most of Sandra Brown's books, from her early romances to her later romantic thrillers, and I've enjoyed almost every single one.  Her writing is very compelling and hard to put down.

Mean Streak is no exception.  It starts out with Dr. Emory Charbonneau being attacked while on a marathon-training run through the woods.  She is found by a stranger who takes her back to his cabin and refuses to let her go - or even tell her his name while he holds her prisoner.  Meanwhile, her husband Jeff is being questioned by cops in her disappearance, and it appears he is hiding something.  But what is he hiding, and does it really have anything to do with his wife's disappearance?

The tension starts out high and doesn't let down until the end.  Ms. Brown's writing style is very straightforward and carries the reader right along from start to finish.  I don't want to say more, for fear of spoilers, but the book is well worth the read.

    I read a lot - depending on my writing schedule, I can usually read about a book a day.  Some of the books are fantastic and I would love to recommend to everyone - some, not so much.  Either way, I thought I would share a few thoughts on what I'm reading at the moment.
