Book Description:
When her younger brother, Danny, commits suicide, Sayre Lynch breaks her vow never to return to her Louisiana hometown, and gets drawn back into her tyrannical father's web. He and her older brother -- who control the town's sole industry, an iron foundry -- are as corrupt as ever. Worse, they have hired a shrewd and disarming new lawyer, Beck Merchant...a man with his own agenda. When the police determine that Danny's suicide was actually a homicide, Sayre must battle her family -- and her passionate feelings for Beck -- as she confronts a powder keg of old hatreds, past crimes, and a surprising plan of revenge.

Antheras passed this on to me yesterday as part of the Mystery VBB we both play in. Thanks!

This is my first Sandra Brown book and I will read more in the future. The characters in the novel had personalities both charming and not very charming and some down right disgusting. I enjoy a little suspense/romance every so often and this had enough of both qualities in my opinion. I couldnt help but feel sad for Huff - seemed like he never had a chance.

Passing this onto Ri today when we meet downtown. She picked this from the Virtual Mystery Bookbox on the relay site.

I'm finally home and unpacked! Thanks for passing this on to me, Chronic! It was great fun to see you again!

RELEASE NOTES:

I'm leaving this on the newspaper and flyer shelf in the back.
