REVIEW: Ricochet by Sandra Brown

by Avid Reader on August 30, 2006

Sandra Brown latest romantic suspense was a pretty good read. It’s been a while since I’ve read and enjoyed a Sandra Brown book. Her latest sounded like something I’d enjoy reading and did. The story opens with a mistrial in Judge Cato Laird’s court.  
The defendant is Robert Savich. Savich is a known criminal in Savannah, Georgia […]
