Precise details change with the ages, but you can bet that the first story ever written had something to do with revenge. Sandra Brown continues the tradition with her latest brick of a book, Fat Tuesday. After a gruff 'n' tuff New Orleans narc, Burke Basile, mistakenly blows a hole in his partner's noggin, he vows revenge--not only on the thug who was directly involved, but also on the sleazy kingpin behind it all. And in finest cop-drama tradition, he vows to do it outside the law. Fat Tuesday only begins to cook after Basile turns in his badge and--mixing charm and coercion--enlists various underworld elements in his cause. It's all a little B movie-ish at times, but for every hooker with a heart of gold, there's a fresher character like Gregory, the homosexual hustler who uses his drama degree to Basile's benefit. The villains are bad (can't go wrong with a lawyer), the heroine good, and the hero a big, wounded warrior looking for true love. What's not to like?

RELEASE NOTES:

A Book Relay sent to SpikesMom in Mars, PA. Enjoy!

Arrived yesterday and off to Mt. TBR for a bit... Thanks, Tribe! I think this is my first-ever Sandra Brown.

I am not sure why this woman's books sell in the millions. The characters are paper dolls, the situations are cliched and predictable, and the writing is bad.

I'm either going to give it to a friend today with instructions to pass it along, or else I'm going to wild release it at the pool.

RELEASE NOTES:

Left on a chair under one of the red umbrellas before the rain came. Hopefully, the book survived and found a new reader.
