Smoke Screen Mass Market Paperback – July 21, 2009

I liked this…just enough twists and turns to keep me reading. The plot and characters were just complex enough to have a surprise or two.

What is not to like about Brown's writing? I recommend this one.

Fantastic book. Sandra brown has not dissapointed me yet. She's a great story teller. I will continue to read more

Haven't read a Romance and Mystery/Drama book in some time. Enjoyed the characters and storyline and the inevitable happy ending. Another winner...

A 4 was all I gave you 9n this read a lot of the story could be put in 1 fourth of the book the retailing and all was a little bit more than necessary

There were wonderful twistsAnd turns. It’s a fast read as it keeps moving and stays very interesting. Read it

I got SMOKE SCREEN in the morning from Amazon and I sat right down and read it. I could not put it down. The story is amazing and the characters are great. Sandra Brown has been one of my favorite authors for a while. I have all her books and they are mostly keepers. This one is definitely a keeper.Britt Shelley is a news reporter for a TV station in Charleston. She made her first big break on a story about the Charleston PD and Fire Dept. An arson specialist with the Fire Dept was found in bed with a dead woman at Jay Burgess's apartment. That was five yrs ago and she and Jay had a short liasion. Jay's friend who was found in bed with the dead woman left town and has not been heard from in all that time. She is not surprised when Jay calls and invites her out for drinks. He has been one of her informants in the PD since the day she met him. She knows he is a player but now they just are friends.She meets Jay and has a drink while he tells her he has a big story to tell her. He also tells her he has cancer and only a few weeks to live. They go to his apt for some privacy to talk, and imagine her horror to wake up in bed with Jay and he is dead.Raley Gannon was the friend of Jay's who was found with the dead woman. He not only was disgraced and lost his job he lost his fiance. He has not forgotten the experience. When he hears about Britt's experience it sounds alot like his, because he does not remember anything about how he wound up in bed with the dead woman, when he went to a party at Jay's. He was engaged at the time and very much in love with his fiance. Britt is insisting she has no memories of going to bed with Jay.Raley kidnaps her and interrogates her about Jay. Finally he tells her what really happened to him. Jay had convinced him to not mention anything about drugs because the dead woman had OD'd on coke. But now Raley is sure he was set up and so was Britt. They join forces when the autopsey says Jay was smothered.From here on out this is a major ride and I loved it. There are some quaint characters and the roller coaster ride is chilling. How can they prove anything while she is wanted for murder and he is still thought of as a looser. Do not miss this one.

I love Sandra Brown. The way she weaves a story like a rich tapestry of life, love and adventure. The stories are real and relatable. The pacing is perfect. I love the way she takes you on a journey with insight and richness. Great book that I would recommend to anyone. Thanks, you did it again.

Loved this book and all the characters in it. Sandra Brown is one of my favourite authors, I just can't read enough of books , they have all been great and I can't wait to read her next one.

I love Sandra Brown books. This particular one I didnt feel the attraction between the main characters at any point. As a previous reviewer mentioned, a lot of the stories, although good reads are very similar and I find myself wondering if I have read them before in book form before I got my Kindle.

I love my Kindle because I read a lot and can access another book as soon as I finish one. I can also get previous books by my favourite authors where my library doesn't seem to stock books over 4 years old. I have only recently discovered Sandra Brown and want to read as many of her books as I can obtain.

I have read a lot of Sandra Brown's books. Some are brilliant and others leave a lot to be desired. I really enjoyed Smoke Screen. The story unfolded gradually, but there was always another twist to it - right up till the end. Well worth buying.

Read a few of Sandra Brown's books which I have enjoyed. The book kept me reading and guessing until the end. My only comment is that the storyline is becoming 'familiar' - innocents succeed against adversity and fall in love in the process. Will look for different type of storyline if I decide to read Sandra Brown again, but otherwise good for light holiday read.
