Chill Factor (Large Print Edition)

Couldn't stop reading!

This is one of the best books I've read so far this year. It kept me reading and guessing who did it! Fast paced and definitely one of her best yet. Must read!!

This book was absolutely wonderful. It keep me rivited to my cassett player the entire time. Excellent characters and reader. I did not want the story to end. There was never a dull moment. This was well worth the money and is highly recommended for anyone liking romance and mystery. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!

Heard and liked Sandra Brown's latest thriller, CHILL FACTOR . . . but that's no real surprise since that has been the case with just about everything else written by this talented author. What sets her apart from so many other writers is that her stories are almost always different . . . and the characters seem fresh; i.e., not like you've met them before. CHILL FACTOR is about a woman stuck in a blizzard with a man who may or may not have been the abductor of several other women in the past two years . . . there are numerous plot twists that had me guessing, and there's also a good amount of romance that added spice to the tale. Stephen Lang narrated . . . I've admired his work in the past and while he did a fine job with the male voices, he wasn't nearly as effective with his reading of the female passages.

I confess that I'm a multi-genre reader, and when I have enough free time to indulge in a mystery, I want plenty of unexpected twists. Sandra Brown's novel turns many unexpected corners. The flow of the story is fast paced, like shooting river rapids in a kayak. I'm dodging obstacles she's strategically placed to make sure the reader is fooled right up to the end. I love the setting of the story, North Carolina. Brown sets the tension quickly between the characters in the small town of Cleary. The suspicion continues to mount as the less-than-perfect locals start to question the actions of one another. The characters we least expect turn out to have secrets. But is the killer a long-time citizen of Cleary...or an outsider? Chrissy K. McVay author of - 'Souls of the North Wind'

This is the best Sandra Brown book I have ever read, and I've read most of them. Ben Tierney and Lilly Martin were outstanding and all the other characters were terrific! Suspense, tension, 'did he or didnt he', passion were all involved. The setting was a whiteout snowstorm and it was portrayed chillingly! Even in Florida, (am a former New Englander), I could feel the cold, experience all the emotions of the characters; and even tho you will probably guess who the bad guy is, you do not want to do it willingly!!! This is a gut wrenching story, vividly done. I read this book in one day - just could not put it down until I reached the end. Each chapter ends hanging out there, and you rush thru the next to seek the answer! (boy, was I easy or what?) :D Did not enjoy some of the last Sandra Brown books but this one has restored my faith. Well done!

Brown delivers an eerie tale of a serial killer in this, her latest suspense thriller. The setting is the wintry mountains of North Carolina, near the small town of Cleary, where five women have disappeared without a trace over the past two years. With her divorce from local police chief Dutch Burton, Lilly Martin is cleaning out their mountain cabin retreat before she travels back to her Atlanta home. But her car careens off the road on her way down the mountain, and she hits Ben Tierney, a travel writer whom she met the previous summer. The two are stranded in Lilly's cabin, as Tierney recovers from his injuries, and romantic tension heats up between them. As police and the FBI continue to search for the abductor, nicknamed Blue for the blue ribbons he leaves when he takes his victims, the storm rages on. Certain clues leave Lily wondering if the man she is sharing her cabin with might be her greatest fear. Could Tierney be Blue? Brown's small town cast of characters comes alive in quiet Cleary, North Carolina. From the local high school football coach to the mild mannered pharmacist, it is clear that many of Cleary's residents have dark secrets, and one of them just might be the notorious Blue. The mystery is expertly crafted; leading readers on a white knuckled ride complete with plenty of red herrings. The conclusion is tumultuous and explosive, the perfect finale to this bone chilling thriller.
