Brazen Virtue (D.C. Detectives)

The characters are great and the plot is fun. This story is worth 5 ***** because you can not leave more. I was hooked on J.D. Robb before I ever heard of Nora Roberts. How about that one!!!

This book will keep you guessing until the end if you like murder mysteries.

I really enjoyed this book. In true Nora Roberts style, we are kept on the edge of our seat wanting to know who the 'bad guy' is. What a surprise at the end. I appreciated how the two main characters are thrown together in a situation far beyond their expectations. The sparks between Grace and Ed are electric. Grace is her own woman not afraid to do what she thinks needs to be done to find her sister's murderer. Ed is a cop through and through. What a combination.Wonderful.

What a great little novel. Somewhat shorter than some of her other works, but just as good! One MUST read Sacred Sins before reading Brazen Virtue. I love the characters Ed and Grace, Ben and Tess. They are believable and are leaving me wanting more. Nora, PLEASE give Ben and Ed some new cases to work on!!!!

I really liked this suspenseful novel. It had the good romance and suspense that only Nora Roberts can write.

WHEN I FIRST PICKED UP THIS BOOK, I FELT THE CHARACTERS OF ED & BEN WERE FAMILIAR. IT TOOK ME A MOMENT TO REALIZE THAT THIS BOOK IS A "PARTNER" TO SACRED SINS. (BEN & TESS' STORY) IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT, YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF WONDERING WHY YOU FEEL A LITTLE LOST. READ SACRED SINS, IT'S GREAT. AS FOR THIS BOOK, I REALLY ENJOYED ED. HE CRACKED ME UP WITH HIS EATING HABITS & HIS LITTLE QUIPS THAT NEEDLE BEN.THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE 2 COPS IS A GREAT BALANCE. I DID FIND IT HARD TO FEEL PITY FOR KATHLEEN, THE VICTIM & GRACE'S SISTER. I FOUND MYSELF FEELING MORE SORRY FOR GRACE.(SHE'S THE HAPPY GO LUCKY TYPE) THE PLOT WAS GOOD, AND THE "BAD GUY" WAS A BIT OF A SUPRISE. (HIS AGE)THE ATTRACTION BETWEEN GRACE & ED IS IMMEDIATE, PLUS THEY HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.I DID GET A KICK OUT OF THE WAY GRACIE WENT ABOUT TRAPPING THE KILLER. IT DROVE ED NUTS, + IT MADE ED JEALOUS THAT SHE WAS DOING PHONE SEX. ALSO,THE WAY THE KILLER WAS ABLE TO USE A COMPUTER WAS VERY INGENIOUS. READ IT-AS USUAL NORA PENS A GREAT BOOK. I READ IT COVER TO COVER AS I ALWAYS DO HER BOOKS IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. IT'S AN ENJOYABLE READ.

I thought the book was fantastic. But, what Nora Robert's novel isn't. The first book I read of hers was "True Betrayals", and after that I just kept buying more and more of her novels. I especially liked Carnal Innocence. Keep them coming Nora!
