I've always loved Sandra Brown's books - some are better than others. I feel like the stories are not as good as they used to be - maybe she is writing the books too fast now. Deadline by Sandra Brown is a pretty good beach read. In this story we have Amelia Wesson who is dealing with a murder and a missing husband and Dawson Scott who is a reluctant journalist covering the story. Of course their paths intertwine and we have the FBI, PTSD, terrorist, and cute little boys playing on the beach. I'd give this story 3 3/4 stars and probably would not recommend it for my book club - just okay. I'm just labeling it as "just okay" but the story is so far-fetched!
Book Description
Publication Date: September 24, 2013
Dawson Scott is a well-respected journalist recently returned from Afghanistan. Haunted by everything he experienced, he's privately suffering from battle fatigue which is a threat to every aspect of his life. But then he gets a call from a source within the FBI. A new development has come to light in a story that began 40 years ago. It could be the BIG story of Dawson's career one in which he has a vested interest.
Soon, Dawson is covering the disappearance and presumed murder of former Marine Jeremy Wesson, the biological son of the pair of terrorists who remain on the FBI's Most Wanted list. As Dawson delves into the story, he finds himself developing feelings for Wesson's ex-wife, Amelia, and her two young sons. But when Amelia's nanny turns up dead, the case takes a stunning new turn, with Dawson himself becoming a suspect. Haunted by his own demons, Dawson takes up the chase for the notorious outlaws. . .and the secret, startling truth about himself.
