June's Lethal by Sandra Brown

[Dee]

When her four year old daughter informs her a sick man is in their yard, Honor Gillette rushes out to help him. But that "sick" man turns out to be Lee Coburn, the man accused of murdering seven people the night before. Dangerous, desperate, and armed, he promises Honor that she and her daughter won't be hurt as long as she does everything he asks. She has no choice but to accept him at his word.

But Honor soon discovers that even those close to her can't be trusted. Coburn claims that her beloved late husband possessed something extremely valuable that places Honor and her daughter in grave danger. Coburn is there to retrieve it -- at any cost. From FBI offices in Washington, D.C., to a rundown shrimp boat in coastal Louisiana, Coburn and Honor run for their lives from the very people sworn to protect them, and unravel a web of corruption and depravity that threatens not only them, but the fabric of our society.

[Love love]

I loved this book!

[Dee]

I just got it today from the library. I read it awhile back, but I am looking forward to rereading it. I just finished Captured Lies by Maggie Thom (a member of ours) and it was great.

[Dee]

I forgot how much I liked Lethal. Lee Coburn at the start seems so bad, and yet he is the good guy. I haven't gotten to the part where you know what he is looking for, but I know it is important to catching the real bad guys.

[Dee]

Since I already know who the Bookkeeper is it is hard for me to read the parts about the bookkeeper. (I don't want to give away too much)

[Dee]

Am I the only one reading the book?

[Angela]

Just finished Lethal and I loved it, even though it was kind of depressing at the end. I won't say anything else either. Can't give away any secrets. I've been a long time fan of Ms. Brown's writing, with my favorite being Slow Heat in Heaven.

[Dee]

I'm so glad you also read it Angela. I was beginning to think I was alone here.

I found a mistake. When Tori meets Honor and Lee she is driving a corvette, but when she leaves she is driving a mini.

(view spoiler)[ I also wondered why Eddie would put the clue where he put it. I mean WHY would he think that an FBI agent would be sleeping with his wife? (hide spoiler)]

[Angela]

I missed that about the car. I thought Honor started to get in her car but spotted the van and went back into her house, then she went out the back to her gay friends house next door. She borrowed their mini cooper. That bit in the spoiler made no sense to me either. Still it was an enjoyable read

[Dee]

Your right she went to her car and when she spotted the van went back to the house. But it says Honor and Lee watched her pull up in a corvette. But when she leaves she is in a mini cooper.

****If you don't want to know the ending to this story DO NOT LOOK AT THE SPOILER****

(view spoiler)[ What I meant was Eddie pushed Honor to put the tattoo on her body. A part of her body in which a person who was intimate with her would usually see. This was a clue to where they would find the evidence to get Doral, his brother, and others. If the right person, Lee, did not take Honor to bed he would never have seen the tattoo and thus figured out where the evidence was. In most circumstances the people that needed to find the flash drive would not be taking Honor to bed. Although, that was clever of SB to plan it out that way. In reality, there were too many holes to this. (hide spoiler)]

[Angela]

Dee, I didn't mean your comment didn't make sense, I meant that the way SB wrote it was crazy. You're right the story has a lot of holes (view spoiler)[like I found the fact that Janice was the bookkeeper not at all believable. (hide spoiler)] I still got swept into the world of these characters.

[Dee]

Oh I so agree with you. I really liked the story. I LOVE her suspense and mysteries. I am not crazy about her romances, at least for the most part.

[Angela]

You are right, Dee. Years ago when she write for Silhouette romances, she knew how to do romance, now not so much. Her writing is not as it was.

[Dee]

I think that is true with a lot of writers.

[Dee]

Catherine Coulter I think is like that. I LOVE Julie Garwoods earlier books (the historical ones) I am not as crazy about her newer books. You know the ones that are modern day books.
