5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent romantic suspense 28 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
English aristocrat Hal Sheldon dies in a car crash in which his American fiancée Jillian Gallagher manages to survive. The last word Jillian hears Hal whisper is Kate. Jillian escorts Hal's corpse to England for a proper burial. His family treats Jillian with utter contempt, going so far as to insist he was to marry someone else.

Jillian obsesses over the name Kate. She needs to know who the woman is that graced her deceased fiancé's final breath. She turns to Hal's cousin Alex Preston for help. As they work to uncover a mystery, they begin to fall in love. However, Jillian must wonder if she trusts Alex with her heart as he is part of a family who hates Jillian because they blame her for causing their beloved lad's death.

Readers always celebrate the release of a new Brenda Joyce novel. The audience holds the author's tales in high esteem because of their terse romantic suspense story lines that leave fans clamoring for more works by Ms. Joyce. Her latest thriller and her first contemporary, THE THIRD HEIRESS, centers on Jillian's needs to do something besides her all alone, unrelenting mourning after total rejection. She selects the mystery of Kate to keep her mind off her loss followed by guilt when she realizes she loves her deceased fiancé's cousin. The mystery is entertaining and the suspense rapidly mounts into a terrific climax. As good as Ms. Joyce's plot is (and it is excellent), this novel clearly belongs to the intrepid heroine.

Although I read the greek version of it, I really enjoyed it. Jill and Alex made a perfect couple, I am glad they ended up together after all that they had been through. Well written, I enjoyed it!

1.0 out of 5 stars What happened to Brenda Joyce? 22 Nov 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I first would like to say that I was a true Brenda Joyce fan. For anyone who read "Promise of the Rose", you know what I am talking about. I love all types of romance ---comtemp. hist. funny. suspense, ect...Unfortunately, this book, "The third Heiress" did not live up to the hype. I felt no emotional involvement with the characters at all. There was nothing about Jill for me to want to read about! The mystery was lacking and I did not care for the whole "Who am I" plot line. It was played...so played! I know Brenda Joyce has written five star books before, I have read them. This book fell short. I hope she can lure me back with something better in the future.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the usual fare. 27 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I picked up "The Third Heiress" because I have always enjoyed Brenda Joyce's works. This book has more of a suspense edge to it; as do a lot of romances now.

The problem with The Third Heiress is that the principle characters and their motives were not established early on in the book. One hundred pages into the book, I was still wondering what was going on in the book and why I should care.

Going to a fiancee's funeral with his bitter hateful family, seeing a photo with the name "Kate," and her last name on the of it does not make for a compelling mystery or much of a drama. Believe me, I did not stay up all night reading this one. There was no reason to. I did not like any of the characters, or care what happened to them.

2.0 out of 5 stars This broke my heart 16 Nov 2005
By Love to read - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I don't like to read books where the "good guys" lose. Kate was such a lively character and in spite of the fact she disappeared nearly 90 years ago, the explanation of how she "ends" was horrible! Edward never found happiness and was estranged from the son he should have loved more than life itself. Anne's complete transformation to a hateful woman was hard to believe. Alex falling for Jill was tough to swallow, as she lost control of the car that killed his cousin. Hal's obsession and stalking of Jill was never fully explained. The ending was not only unsatisfying, it didn't bring closure to the "Kate" mystery. Pick up another one of Brenda's books to read...
