robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2060 more book reviews


Seven years ago, Theodore Glenn was convicted of the murders of four strippers. Sent to San Quentin, Theodore vowed revenge against Will Hooper, the detective who arrested him, and Robin McKenna, a stripper who testified against him. A sudden earthquake brings down some walls at the prison and several inmates escape. Theodore gets his chance to get back to San Diego and get even with those he believed wronged him. When Will Hooper hears the news of the escape, he contacts Robin to warn her. They once had a relationship, but it ended when Will did not trust Robin's claims that she had no past relationship with Theodore Glenn. Now Will is asking for her forgiveness and trying to keep her safe from the killer who is looking for both of them.

The first book in Allison Brennan's Prison Break series is a good one. Theodore acknowledges that he tortured and killed three strippers, but claims that the fourth one was not his victim. His warped mind believes he would have been found not guilty if someone hadn't set him up to take the fall for the fourth victim. When this information comes to light, matters get complicated. Not only are the police trying to prevent Theodore from killing more people, but they must now discover who really murdered Robin's roommate seven years ago. My rating: 4 Stars.
