Whilst I am a big fan of Sandra Brown I found this book easier to put down than the rest. The violence was rather sickening at times and I found I couldn't look forward to picking it up again. Although at the end it was of course well worth reading I'm not sure I'd choose it for a second reading (and I've read several of her books more than 4 times!).

For readers who are expecting a "romance novel," you will be terribly disappointed. This book is more like a James Patterson (Kiss the Girls) type book than a knight in shining armor saves the heroine! It is almost masculine in writing style. Nevertheless, the story line kept my attention and this is a decent "thriller" if you like violence and suspense.

I loved this book. Next to "Chill Factor" this is the best of the four books I've read so far by Sandra Brown. This book was evenly paced and believable. The good characters were lovable and the romance between Jack and Anna was electrifying. I suggest listening to it on audio to get the full effects of the tension and emotions between the two of them. This is more a love story than anything, but there are plenty of grisly details and intrigue surrounding the criminality in the story.

This is a departure from Sandra's usual style of story. The trademark writing is still there however far more violent and more chiller/thriller than romance. This is the novel which started my highly picky husband reading her books after considerable convincing on my behalf that women can write the type of thrillers men like to read. He hasn't looked back since and I do believe that in the direction she is heading with novels such as this and The Alibi" she is appealing to a wider mainstream audience. There is still an element of romance in this novel and whilst there were parts that were uncomfortable to read, this book is very well rounded and highly recommended.

This is my first book by Sandra Brown, I picked it up after reading the synopsis on the back cover. I became immediately enthralled in the book and enjoyed it until the very end, wondering who the killer was. I'll admit though, about 3/4ths of the way through I had a guess, and it was correct. That's kind of cool though.

Ok, I've read several reviews on this book that I am very disappointed with. I don't know if they are coming from people who have weak stomach's or what, but their comments are a little off base to me. I did not feel that this book was too gory or that it was overboard in the scenes. Sure the descriptions were down the tee, but isn't that what you want when you're reading a book? Do you honestly think that when you pick up a murder mystery book that some blood and gore are out of place? Isn't that what murder is? I just think it's unfair for those comments to deter people from reading this book that I thought was a great read.

I'm a fan of Sandra Brown's, believe it or not. I've probably given her as man one-star or two-star ratings as anyone else. For sure, she tells it like it is, and although some of her detail description gets to be too much, one has to back up and think about it. Hey, that's the way it is in the real world and that's the way most hardened criminals talk and think. I found no offense in this because once I got to the theme of where she was going, it was what I expected. I think SB has written some really wonderful books, this just isn't one of her best. BUT, on the other hand, it isn't one of her worst either. The characters are strong and well-defined and I kept wondering how in the world she would ever tie Jack Sawyer to all of this as to why he came back to protect Anna Corbett from the Herbold brothers. And the mystery surrounding Patsy McCorkle's death had me wondering what in the world too. I gave this book a three because that's what I thought it was...average.

Hats off to Sandra Brown! This was a good story with lots of great turns. I love the way it ended! Sandra is one of my favorite writers and "Unspeakable" is a must read book. I enjoyed this book and it's characters very much.
