Will I love Envy?

I don’t even remember everything about this book, except that this was the book that made me an instant Sandra Brown fan. In Envy, a NY book editor is riveted by the tale of an unsolicited manuscript and begins working with the author…only to learn along the way that this story reveals a long-concealed crime. I’ve read it twice, years apart, and I’m due for another reading. It’s that good. Explosive is the only way to describe this suspenseful story with an amazing twist at the end! One of my absolute favs!

This novel is one of my most treasured of mystery stories. I am a sucker for mysteries involving authors, and that’s what drew me in immediately. Ms. Brown delivers a perfect dish of characters involved in the business of books—most of whom have personalities in various degrees of shady. Then she sprinkles these folks within one of the most exquisite plots I’ve ever read, leading the reader to a most surprising resolution. No cliffhangers or dangling endings here. Envy is the total package.
