One of the best Romantic Suspense Books I've Ever Read
28 Mar 2000
By Maudeen Wachsmith
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love Romantic Suspense. I particularly love it when an author whose work I've enjoyed moves to romantic suspense without sacrificing the romantic element of the story. Mariah Stewart has done this with BROWN EYED GIRL. Gripping suspense, but passionate romance together in a book readers won't be able to put down once they start.
Leah McDevitt is a features editor for a well-known magazine whose younger sister has been missing for several years. When a man who is on death row says he might have some information regarding her, Leah is anxious to meet with him. She does so, but the meeting does not lead to any concrete information instead the convicted killer wants money. Leah agrees to send him half now, half after he gives her more info. But, before he is able to reveal what he knows, he is killed by another prison inmate.
Leah is crushed. Just when she thought she might have some peace of mind she is crushed again. She seeks the help of the only other person she knows might be able to give her assistance, Ethan Sanger, the author of a book on the killer Leah talked to in prison. But Ethan is reluctant to share this information because in doing so, he will have to relive memories he's spent years trying to forget.
Nail biting suspense ensues when Leah realizes her own life is in danger. This is a highly recommended read.

because when you sit down to read Brown-Eyed Girl, you're going to have to finish it in one sitting!
I've been a fan of Ms. Stewart since her first book and she just keeps getting better and better. There are very few authors who are really good at Romantic Suspense. Generally, one category or the other is shortchanged, but not with this book.
Leah is a wonderful character and you feel every emotion right along with her as she tries desperately to find information on her missing sister. And Ethan, whose wife was a victim of the same serial killer Leah fears murdered her sister, is complex, kind, withdrawn, passionate and tortured - in short, a perfect hero. All of the secondary characters, especially Genna, Holly and Tom, are great examples of living, breathing people.
I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Melissa and I hated for the book to end! What better compliment for an author. I'm also rooting for Genna Snow, intrepid FBI agent,to have her own story told.
You must buy this book. I read dozens of books each month and this one is a definite "keeper".

Definitely a "must read author"!!!

I had never read a book by Mariah Stewart and was amazed to find how hooked I was right from the start when I found "Brown-Eyed Girl"! I have a group of authors whose books I try to make a point of reading, and she is definitely on my list now! I love her style of writing - the blend of romance and suspense and a little bit of every-day wit and humor are just the right ingredients. I also like the fact that there is not a great amount of sexual detail - just a great down-to-earth story, that has subtle romance which seems to be more effective and meaningful. The characters of Leah and Ethan are so well-developed that you feel they are people you would like to have in your life, and it is hard to let go of them at the end of the book. I am now reading "Voices Carry", which is sort of a sequel, in that the main characters of this book were secondary characters in "Brown-Eyed Girl", and I am thoroughly enjoying that book also. It is not necessary to read them in order, as the stories do not tie in very much, but I would definitely recommend that you read them both, as they are each such engrossing stories! In fact, I am so impressed with her style that I have ordered or bought all of her books to read, and am looking forward to many more "adventures"! So glad I found her!
