Brazen Virtue

A great story with predictable twists. A great read.

A bit of a slow start learning the characters. Once things start to happen you are glued to complete your reading!

While Nora Roberts’ writing skills would improve with later books, I thought she did a fantastic job of creating a romantic suspense novel with a simple, yet thrilling plot when she wrote this scary, exciting book! A beautiful mystery writer returns to her hometown to visit her divorced sister. While staying with her, the writer accepts a date with the handsome detective who lives next door. When she returns to the house later that night, she stumbles upon a horrifying discovery: Her sister, who had supported herself as a fantasy phone-sex operator, has been raped and murdered. Working with the detective, who she finds herself falling for, she becomes determined to catch the killer, and decides to set a trap for him, despite the detective’s objections. He has reason for concern, good reason. This psychopath has ambitions toward becoming a serial killer and he refuses to let anyone stand in his way! As with all books that I’ve read, I read Brazen Virtue as a paperback book. If you’re a fan of Nora Roberts, or if you simply love romantic suspense, I recommend this book; it’s simply a very enjoyable book! For readers of print books, it’s short enough to guarantee a quick read for those who want one; the paperback book that I used to own was only 278 pages long. Obviously, if you like reading ebooks, this is also a great choice! I’ve never read Sacred Sins, but if you like this book, you’ll want to read that book as well; it’s part of 2-book series that apparently ends with this one. Wish I had known that before I bought this book; I’ve wanted to read Sacred Sins for a long time, probably before I even read this book. Still, you should definitely try and track down both books because Brazen Virtue is worth reading!
