This is the type of novel that I love to read from Sandra Brown. The storyline is excellent, the action is wild and the romance is hot!! Readers are snared from the beginning with a sinister phone call to a radio-talk show host, followed by the kidnapping of the daughter of a prominent citizen. And even though you may think you have everything figured out and know who the psycho is - you don't. Not until the very end. The story takes you behind the scenes of a how a radio show operates, as well as into the teenage underworld of sex, drinking and drugs. Although this is truly a work of fiction, I think its a must-read for parents of teenagers because it stresses the importance of communication and keeping close tabs on these young wannabe adults.

I've read a lot of Sandra Brown's books and enjoyed them all, but I think this one is the best!! Kept my interest right from the start and I couldn't guess who the bad guy was until nearly the end. Fun read.
Great book, could hardly put it down.

A great mystery writer.
Cue another run up the charts for bestselling Brown (The Crush), who knows just the right mix to spin: a second-chance-at-love theme rocked by the rhythms of families-in-jeopardy and the hip-hop beat of an at-risk teen subplot sure to alarm the most jaded of parents. Her latest thriller, set during a steamy Austin, Tex., summer, revolves around Paris Gibson, host of a late night radio show that dispenses classic love songs along with advice for the lovelorn that turns deadly after a caller takes Paris's on-air advice to dump a possessive boyfriend who turns out to be another regular caller, "Valentino." Refusing to be dumped, "Valentino" makes the girl his captive, phones Paris that he will kill her in 72 hours ("...her death will be on your conscience") and implies Paris may die next. Paris contacts the Austin police and reunites with one-time lover, Dean Malloy, a police psychologist who was also her dead fiance's best friend. "Valentino" 's victim, Janey Kemp, is the missing 17-year-old daughter of a prominent judge and a founder of a Sex Club Web site that arranges illicit parties that Dean's son, Gavin, also frequents, connecting him to Janey's disappearance. Paris and Dean's romance is almost trivial beside Janey's dehumanizing captivity, although Brown's shallow characterizations of Janey and other Sex Club teens registers the only off note in this fast-reading thriller. The adult suspects are better developed: Lancy, an ex-con/janitor/former porn star trying to make good; Stan, a radio employee whose family connections are the only reason he has a job; John, a cop who sees nothing wrong with "hands on" undercover work; and Brad, a sex-addicted dentist. The unmasking of the killer comes with a riveting finale that will leave fans begging for an encore.
Maybe I am getting old but this book is to graphic with sex and rape.
It is one of her classic murder and a little of romance.
Loved it!
great book, surprised by ending.
I love Sandra Brown and this book is no exception. She has you sitting at the edge of your seat the whole time. I read into the night several nights to finish this book.
Good Plot -- Keeps one guessing until the end.
Brown at her best!
This was really good! Had me guessing till the end.
This book was really an exciting read. As most of Sandra Brown's books are. ENJOY!!
Sorry folks, I just couldn't get into this one at all! Never got far at all.
Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
suspenseful
Great book! Keeps you guessing till the end!
A fast paced mystery.
"a gripping story of abduction, betrayal, and murder that could have been ripped straight from the headlines." -pretty much says it.
Great book! Loved the characters!
Paris Gibson is a talk show host and receives a frightening phone call that the caller is going to kill someone. You will never guess who the killer is!!! I thought I had it figured out more than once. You will be guessing the whole book....but don't peek! It's worth the wait!

This is one of the Sandra Brown books that sends you looking for another by her. Not at ALL like the "Best Kept Secret" book that she wrote. Which was trash. Wouldn't even make good confetti because the paper was sub-par, just like the writing. This one was nothing like that...lol
Sandra Brown has done the next to the impossible. She's given us a serial killer, shown us what he looks like, given us plenty of info about him, made plenty sure we know he's a bottom dweller into not quite right, kinky sex. But that's not what is so amazing about this novel. We meet this slug right from the get go, but we don't figure out who he is till the end of the book, so I guess you could say HELLO, DARKNESS is a mystery. But wait, it reads like a pulse-pounding, page-turning thriller. Stop! There might be a touch of romance in it as well.
Nightshift DJ Paris Gibson gets a call from one of her listeners, a guy who calls himself Valentino, just before she goes off shift. He tells her he's kidnapped his girlfriend and he's going to kill her in three days. Paris has seventy-two hours to save the girl. Of course she goes straight to the cops, where she happens to run into Criminal Shrink Dean Malloy, a man from her past.
Paris, Malloy and the police do their level best to track the kidnapper, but Ms. Brown has made it a bit difficult by giving them more than one suspect. Is it Malloy's sassy son, a back-talking, boozing brat who belongs to the same internet sex club as the missing girl? Is it the perverted porno perusing, pedophiliac who yearns to peak under his patient's skirts as he's drilling their teeth? Is it the cop assigned to computer fraud that's been secretly sampling the wares of the girls in the high school sex club? And can Paris and company catch the kidnapping killer before he gets Paris, because you know hes after her, else why did he bother to call in the first place.
The beauty of this book is that I was convinced the bad guy was the dentist, then I shifted my attention to the kid, then the cop, then back to the dentist, and so on and so on. Ms. Brown gives us three suspects, makes them all look guilty, then guiltier. What a great book.

Of course this is great listen ! Highly recommended by me
Great book! keeps you guessing and lots of suspense.
Good Book. A radio host who is hunted. I always try to guess who the perp is before it is revealed. I got this one.
Tense and exciting. You can't put it down once you start reading it!
Very good story. Had me guessing as to the bad guy right to the end.
A great suspense thriller that will keep you riveted.
A fast-paced, gripping story of a talk show host who is drawn into the plot of a grisly murder.
I enjoy reading anything by Sandra Brown although I admit I enjoy her romantic suspense (like this) more than her straight romance. As usual, excellent.
This book was a good thriller.
Another masterful Sandra Brown story. The setting is Austin, Texas - the heroine is a radio talk-show host - the villain calls in his threats as he leaves a trail of murdered women in his wake - and the hero is...well, the hero, of course! We get abduction, murder, betrayal, and more.
Since moving to Austin to ease the pain of tragic mistakes, Paris Gibson had led a life vitual isolation,coming alive only at night when she hosts her popular radio show.Then one listener-who identifies himself as Valentino-tells Paris that the girl he loves julted him because of Paris's on-air advice.He intends to exact revenge by killing the girl and coming after Paris. Desperate to stop the sinister Valentino, Paris enlists the help of the police-including crime psychologist Dean Malloy the very man she had hoped never to meet again.....
Great story, Sandra Brown never fails to get it right.
Paris is a radio deejay who gets a phone call one night during her show that starts this thriller...the caller is planning on killing someone in 72 hours if Paris can't save his victim...the plot is the search of a sexual predator...fast read, recommend it if you like other Sandra Brown books.
One of my favorites. The story is so intriguing and exciting from start to finish. Could not put it down.

Terrific storyline ... I love the characters.
For Paris Gibson, her popular late night radio show is both an escape and her one real contact with the outside world.
Since moving to Austin to ease the pain of the past, tragic mistakes, she has led a life of virtual solitude, coming alive only when she hosts her show. To her loyal listeners, she is a wise and trusted friend who not only takes their music requests but listens to their problems and occasionally dispenses advice.
Paris's world of isolation is brutally threatened, however, when one listener-a man who identifies himself only as "Valentino"-tells her that her on-air advice to the girl he loves has caused her to leave him and that now he intends to exact his revenge. First he plans to kill the girl, whom he has abducted-which he says he will do in 72 hours-then he will come after Paris.
Joined by the Austin police department, Paris plunges into a race against time in an effort to find Valentino before he can carry out his threat to kill-and to kill again. To her dismay, she finds that one of the people she must work with is crime psychologist Dean Malloy, a man with whom she shares a history that had a catastrophic effect on both of their lives. His presence arouses old passions, forcing Paris to confront painful memories that she had come to Austin to forget.
As the clock ticks down, and Valentino's threats come closer to becoming a reality, Paris suddenly finds herself forced to deal with a killer who may not be a stranger at all.

Spine tingling good murder mystery, keeps you on the edge of your seat and sleepless reading well into the wee hours. A definite page turner.
Combination mystery/romance with the emphasis on the mystery.
A twisted character announces to a radio talk-show host that he's planning to kill the girlfriend who turfed him out in three days, then hangs up. Intriguing people (all with a bit of suspect mayhem in their pasts) provide all too many possible suspects.
