Seeing Red
robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2106 more book reviews


Twenty-five years ago, a Dallas hotel was bombed, and many people perished. Major Franklin Trapper led a group of survivors to safety and became a national hero. The Major was a media darling, receiving awards and doing may interviews, until suddenly he dropped out of the public eye. Now TV Journalist Kerra Bailey wants an exclusive with the Major who isn't taking any of her calls. So, she approaches former ATF Agent John Trapper, the Major's estranged son, and asks for an introduction. When the interview goes horribly wrong and unknown assailants target both Kerra and the Major, Trapper decides to use Kerra to help track down the gunmen.

I'm never sure if I'm going to like Sandra Brown's books. Some of them work for me and others don't. I thought this romantic suspense story was pretty good. The romance portion wasn't terribly romantic, but I thought the mystery was very well done. The identity of the villain really surprised me. There were also a couple other twists that I didn't see coming.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Victor Slezak. I think he did a fabulous job with the characters. I especially liked Trapper's attorney friend who stood out. My rating: 4 Stars.
