Don't Look Now : A Novel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Attorney Clare Westbrook's boss is murdered. She's not exactly upset because in addition to his unethical business practices, he also had Clare working off a loan he made to her for law school by her working long hours for low pay. Enter former lover and still chemically combustible homicide detective, Tony Sonterra. In a parallel story, her brother-in-law is released from prison wanting his daughter, whom Clare is raising, back. Part of the plot has to do with finding her sister's murderer.
Clare believes her brother-in-law killed her sister even though the body was never found and he was never charged. Someone also trying to kill Clare, but keeps mistaking other people for her.
There are entirely too many plots going on at the same time in this book. You have to take an incredible leap of faith to believe this could all go on in a short span of time. Tony and Clare had chemistry and I enjoyed most of their scenes together. Most of the other characters are underdeveloped. Overall, it was fairly preposterous. It's a fairly quick read so if you are a romantic suspense fan, it is not a terrible book, but there are much better ones on the market.

New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller turns up the heat in this sizzling tale of suspense and re-kindled passions set against the blazing skies of Arizona's lush desert landscape -- where a killer is determined to exact his revenge. When hard-working attorney Clare Westbrook learns that her ambulance-chasing boss has been murdered, she's shocked -- but not exactly surprised. Harvey Kredd was known for his less-than-ethical business dealings, and even his acts of generosity were tinged with greed; Clare, working at Kredd and Associates to pay off the law school loan Harvey had granted her several years before, knows she's got no choice: indentured servitude, twenty-first-century style. But Harvey's death doesn't let Clare out of her contract with the firm; instead it brings her a new, odious multimillionaire client, and Tony Sonterra, homicide detective and local heartthrob, who's not above using a murder investigation to get back into Clare's life. Jump-starting her affair with Tony is the last thing Clare needs -- she's got enough on her plate raising her niece, Emma, without throwing a bull-headed cop into the mix. Then Clare gets the news that may convince her Tony is exactly what she needs: Emma's father has been released from prison, and he's intent on seeing his daughter. Though she could never persuade the police to believe her, Clare is convinced that James Arren murdered her sister. Clare is determined to find evidence that will put James Arren away for good, but Tony is just as determined to keep her safe, after another murder -- clearly meant to target Clare -- rocks the law firm. With no real leads, too many suspects, and a growing chain of menacing violence, Clare finds that teaming up with the devil she knows is her only option -- one that's just too attractive to resist. With the same rich storytelling style that has captivated readers worldwide, Linda Lael Miller delivers a page-turning blend of heated passion and captivating suspense.
