Ricochet: A Novel

Ricochet: A Novel

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE #1 BESTSELLER CHILL FACTOR

New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown is back with a spine-tingling story of murder and betrayal -- and a homicide detective's struggle with his own rules of conduct.

When Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher is summoned to the home of Judge Cato Laird in the middle of the night to investigate a fatal shooting, he knows that discretion and kid-glove treatment are the key to staying in the judge's good graces and keeping his job.

At first glance, the case appears open-and-shut: Elise, the judge's trophy wife, interrupted a burglary in progress and killed the intruder in self-defense. But Duncan is immediately suspicious of Elise's innocent act. And further investigation quickly puts Duncan's career in jeopardy -- because he can't deny his increasing attraction to Elisa Laird, even if she is a married woman, a proven liar, and a murder suspect.

Ricochet's plot twists -- as only Sandra Brown can write them -- make this a gripping thriller, in which a decent cop's worst enemy may be his own conscience...and trusting the wrong person could mean the difference between life and death.

Ricochet: A Novel
User Reviews
Murder Mystery Thriller
rating: 5

Since this was an 11 cd set, I was a little afraid that I might become bored before I reached the end. However, nothing could have been further from the truth. Each cd drew me deeper into the plot. I found it addictive and hard to even take a break. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire 11 cd's. The ending was everything hoped for. This was my favorite Sandra Brown yet. I had to give it 5 stars.


One of her better books
rating: 5

Keep you guessing until the end. One of her better books. Still get a bit into the bedroom scenes a bit much. Could have done without that. But was a fast and enjoyable mystery. With suspence.


Ricochet
rating: 2

This book was a disappointment. I couldn't get drawn in because I didn't like the main characters. Duncan Hatcher was especially hideous. I don't know which was more disturbing, his involvement with suspect Elise, or his total disregard of police procedure. The story never seemed to end, and didn't have the expected drama and suspense.



'Ric'kety crime drama
rating: 1

I had typed up a longer review of this snoozefest, but it must have self-destructed from the novel's dullness!
This is a lightweight 'crime drama-legal-thriller-romantic page-turner', which doesn't do justice any of those three genres.
Yet another tired, cliched mess, filled with characters who are either unlikable or forgettable...much like the story itself! It's amazing how stories that read as if they were written in a few days can be so dull, they take weeks to finish!
Once again, I find myself reading an author for the first time, disliking the story, and reading a lot of apologetic reviews from 'diehard fans' claiming that 'she's usually so much BETTER!' No offense, but I find Sandra Brown 'in contempt of readable fiction', and will not 'bail her out' by reading another one of her books.


Big miss
rating: 1

Yuck factor with the personalities of the characters and their choices. Not into the theme that Sandra Brown has taken in a couple of her books - suffering wife needs a real love/lover outside her marriage. The book seemed to drag with the lack of action. Motivation and justification at the end of the book didn't work.
