Bernard Shaw once said, "I'm sorry this letter is so long.
I didn't have time to make it shorter." This quote
captures the differing skills and abilities needed to write
short stories. They need to be compact, exciting, have
fast moving plots and often have dramatic or surprising
endings.
To this end, Sandra Brown has pulled together and
edited an incredible anthology of top romantic suspense
stories from best-selling to newly discovered authors.
Before each of the 29 stories, Brown has personally written
a tag line that totally captures the treat that is next in
store for readers and like ocean waves, the theme of
each story, while different rolls nicely into the next.
I found a lot of thought had gone into the editing and
assembling of the stories. The stories have diverse themes
of violence, betrayal, action, suspense and faith, but all
touch on love in its various forms. With top writers like
Lee Child, Heather Graham, Roxanne St. Claire, and Vicki
Hinze contributing, it would be hard to go wrong; yet, I
found the works by authors I hadn't previously discovered,
such as Pamela Callow, William Simon and J.T. Ellison, just
as page turning and made it too hard for me to pick out a
favorite among them.
As the stories differ in intensity and mood, I can't
guarantees that you will like them all, but I can say
they all fi in the "I can't put this down, page turning "
category and LOVE IS MURDER is an exceptional collection of
thrilling
stories that romantic suspense loving fans will not want to
miss!
Prepare for heart-racing suspense in this original collection by thirty of the hottest bestselling authors and new voices writing romantic suspense today.
