Customer Reviews

Excellent Novel

I loved this book. Next to "Chill Factor" this is the best of the four books I've read so far by Sandra Brown. This book was evenly paced and believable. The good characters were lovable and the romance between Jack and Anna was electrifying. I suggest listening to it on audio to get the full effects of the tension and emotions between the two of them. This is more a love story than anything, but there are plenty of grisly details and intrigue surrounding the criminality in the story.

Great Story

Hats off to Sandra Brown! This was a good story with lots of great turns. I love the way it ended! Sandra is one of my favorite writers and "Unspeakable" is a must read book. I enjoyed this book and it's characters very much.

wow!!

this is the second book by sandra brown ive read and WOW!! i will be reading more from this author. this book never stops and though the violence is very discriptive, it makes it very real. i now hold sandra brown right up there with nora robers....a favorite ::smile

Worth a read if you're adventurous.

Brown has really done it this time. Nothing like her previous novels, "Unspeakable" is an excellent step in a new direction if she chooses to follow it. I'm a widely read individual, and Brown has tactfully mixed violence and romance together in a way I haven't seen before. If you're accustomed to Brown's usual writing style, I personally wouldn't recommend this book...but if you're up to reading something new, "Unspeakable" is the book for you. Readers should beware, however, of the language and violence - and that is tame compared to other authors I've read. Keep up the good work Sandra, it's good to see you trying something new!

WOW!!!

UNSPEAKABLE is a story filled with mystery, murder, violence, and tragedy revolving around a man with a troubled past seeking redemption, a widowed mother who is deaf and mute and afraid to love again, an aging sheriff determined to solve a mystery from long ago and about the two vicious killers who are hunting them as prey killing anyone in their way. UNSPEAKABLE is definitely not a story for the weak at heart or stomach. The violence is realistically detailed. The truthfullness- the reality check instilled this story makes this book quite unique among Brown's previous works. It is suspenseful yet passionate keeping you on the alert ready to hide under the covers or so hot you're aching for a shower. I definitely recommend it. You'll love it. Trust me!
