Summary: SANDRA... AT HER BEST !
Review: After recently re-reading this book, I felt the need to urge others to read it too. If you like a mystery that keeps you guessing, a love story that sizzles, a leading lady who is as smart as she is sexy, and a hero who defines the meaning of the word - then this is the novel for you. Claire and Cassidy leads a cast of well-crafted characters, that will keep you eager to turn the page and find out what comes next. Unfortunately for us readers,(as with all Sandra Brown's books) the endings come way to quickly, and you have to shift your imagination into overdrive to keep the story going in your mind past the final chapter. "FRENCH SILK" is a fantastic read. Set against the colorful and captivating backdrop of New Orleans, Ms. Brown weaves a tale of mystery, suspense and an unforgettable story of romance and family loyalty. Claire will stop at nothing to protect her fragile mother from an unforgiving world, her best friend from the perils of loving a married man, and the company she founded from the ravings of a religious fanatic. Cassidy is her perfect match. He is looking to solve the case of the decade, and trap a cold-blooded killer - even it it means investigating the woman he could'nt help loving. Don't let this one slip by you ! Pick it up today and enjoy ! And if you've already read it,is'nt it about time you had the pleasure again ?

Summary: a first sandra brown..
Review: and not the last! i really like the writting style of this author. at times, ive read books where the author jumps around soooo much that the reader is left lost and losing a lot of the story. there is nothing worse than having to read a paragraph (or page) over and over again so that you have it. Ms. Brown flows out smoothly...::smile

Summary: Another Great
Review: Another great from Sandra Brown. Characters and plot were very well detailed. I figured out one element rather early, but was definitely off on my guess for the killer. But I think I assumed the killer was who Ms. Brown wants you to think it is. Therefore she did a great job of keeping the story twisting and the readers stumped.
Other recommendations are "Where There's Smoke" "Slow Heat in Heaven" "Breath of Scandal" and "Texas! Trilogy". I also liked Linda Howard's "Mr. Perfect".

Summary: Victoria's Secret!
Review: FRENCH SILK is a fabulously setted book. Can you mention just one other title that goes into the lengerie biz with rivalry as the biggie? You jump from one suspect to the next while figuring out who the killer was. The multi-narrative plot with multi-layers was sudective like the lengerie. The ending was a killer, too.

Summary: Hold on to this one...
Review: French Silk is definitely one of Sandra Brown's better works. I enjoyed it very much. At times it was a bit predictable, but it didn't detract from the book. The characters were well thought out and elaborated on, and the pace of the book was quick.

Summary: As hot and steamy as New Orleans
Review: French Silk is Sandra Brown's best novel. She combines mystery, suspense, and romance in a story you don't want to put down. The action and dialogue sizzles and crackles. A book this hot needs its own fire extinguisher! A definite must read.

Summary: Not her best work
Review: I am a big fan of Sandra Brown's, but this book was a disappointment. It moved much too slowly and I found myself wondering if it would ever end. I wasn't impressed with Cassidy at all for a couple reasons. He chased her around all the time asking questions when that should have been the detectives job. Claire was never questioned by the cops. And I didn't care for the way he "wooed" her into bed. Kind of a turnoff. Claire was on my nerves because she kept lying time and again and with all the evidence they had against her, she should have been arrested at the beginning of the book. Everytime they turned up more evidence, it was never enough according to the Asst. D.A. The killer turned out to be a disappointment too because he/she (I will try not to give it away) had no motive, no opportunity, no nothing until the last three pages of the entire book. There's all kinds of suspects throughout the book and it turns out to be someone who had no reason at all, or so you were lead to believe. I think the author would have done better including this person as a likely suspect along with everyone else in the book. I'm glad I'm finally done with it.
