Sudden Death

A Novel of Suspense

By: Allison Brennan

Narrated by: Ann Marie Lee

Fast, furious and fatal . . . a pair of killers seek brutal revenge.

When a homeless veteran is found dead in a squalid Sacramento alley, FBI special agent Megan Elliott vows to find the murdered hero’s killer. Her investigation gets complicated fast, for the victim, a former Delta Force soldier, is just one link in a nationwide spree of torture and murder.

Straight off a job rescuing medical missionaries, soldier-for-hire Jack Kincaid returns to his home base in the Texas border town of Hidalgo only to receive the news that one of his closest colleagues–also ex-military–has been brutally murdered. Faced with an inept local police force, Jack takes matters into his own hands.

Now, as part of a national task force to stop the sadistic killings, by-the-book Megan and burn-the-book Jack form a tense alliance, sparked with conflict and temptation. But they struggle against more than passion, for a vicious pair of killers has only just begun a rampage of evil . . . and the primary target is much closer than Megan suspects.©2009 Allison Brennan; (P)2009 Random House

Over the top "romance" ruined a perfectly good...

story. seriously, the "romance" portion was way too much and unbelievable. it really ruined what could have been a fun mystery.

Great plot but…

The romance part is cringe. I never skip portions of books but I couldn’t take it anymore. Too far fetched and nonsensical.

another excellent book

Which character – as performed by Ann Marie Lee – was your favorite?

She did such a great job with the different characters! I liked Jack and Megan the best.

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

Yes, I could do that if I had time.

Any additional comments?

Very entertaining.

Romance, Heavy on the Suspense

This book is well written with enough twists and turns, expected and unexpected, to keep you going. It borders on horror with explicit, gory dead scenes but not over the top. If you're even a little squeamish don't read.
The mystery was definitely the emphasis for the book and the romance secondary and if I have any complaints it would be the ending was drawn-out then ended abruptly. The romantic ties drawn too flimsy to be believable for the ending.
All in all I give it thumbs up for the well written mystery, but thumbs sideways for not enough substance for the romance.

Excellent

Great story line. Intense. Can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.
