review
"Sandra Brown's crime novels are thematically related to those of Joy Fielding and are characterized by a reactionary sexual morality: sensual, promiscuous women are severely punished, monogamous women, on the other hand, survive in the lap of a family that is initially incomplete in the context of the criminal act, but then through a new partner is completed again.
