I just picked up “No Ordinary Man” by Suzanne Brockmann. I love her writing and own nine books from her Troubleshooters series.  When I spotted this book on a used rack for a $1 at the bookstore I picked it up thinking, “You can’t go wrong with Suzanne Brockmann.” I must say, it was well worth my dollar.

This was one of the better romantic suspense novels I’ve read in a while. The book starts of at a good pace and only gets hotter and picks up more speed towards the end. The mystery killer turns out to be only a mild surprise (most will figure out who it is before the characters themselves do). While the killers identity and exact motive are kept slightly out of focus and rarely warrant more than 4 paragraphs of dialog, the disturbing way in which he kills his victims and their striking resemblance to the main character, transform the mystery killer into a main character that readers will be dieing to unmask before he follows through with his ultimate plan.

The dynamic between the two main characters works well with the plot and the romance between the characters is done very tactfully and progresses well throughout the story.

Once i picked up this book I couldn’t put it down. I sat down and read this book in one evening. It was that good.

If you’re new to romantic suspense,  this is a great starter book. Once you’ve read this, you may be hooked on the genre for good. If you are already a Suzanne Brockmann fan, check this out. Its well worth the read.

Back Panel Excerpt:

That was all Jess Baxter knew about her newest tenant, Rob Carpenter. That and the fact that he liked her daughter — and was the sexiest guy she’d ever met. But as Jess found out, no one got to know the elusive Mr. Carpenter. He was a master at dodging questions…and igniting her desires. With just one of his searing kisses, Jess was hotter than the Florida sun.

But then the murders started — all women who looked like Jess. And the profile of the killer matched Rob…. Was Rob an innocent victim — or had his burning kisses only been a smoke screen? One thing was certain: Rob Carpenter was no ordinary man.
