A Review of "Death Sentence" by Sheryl Browne

Death Sentence 
by 
Sheryl Browne



I have been a fan of Sheryl Browne for quite a while and have really enjoyed her romance novels.  This book was a gritty step in another direction and had me terrified and mesmerized at the same time. Well researched, it tells the story of love, retribution and revenge. Matthew  Adams, a Detective Inspector believes his child died at the hands of his previous childhood bully turned pimp and prostitute killer. Patrick Sullivan, aforementioned pimp and killer blames Matthew for the death of his brother in a drug raid gone wrong.  Both men have scores to settle and Sullivan uses Matthew's wife to exact his revenge.  

As is the norm for Sheryl Browne, her main characters are embroiled in much complication and votility and other personalities emerge to further develop the story line and add to the emotional content. Poor Matthew has to fight to right the wrongs committed by Sullivan while trying to protect his pregnant wife and his niece, (a fascinating personality),  who has now entered their lives and is need of a lot love and support to cope with the trauma of an alcoholic mother and the voices she hears in her head. One becomes exhausted for Matthew as he battles on against overwhelming odds in his fight for justice. There becomes a fine line in his world between what is right and what the twisted murderer probably deserves.  

This book keeps the reader on the edge of their seats, not really knowing which way the tale is going to turn. Gripping!!!

What did you Want to be when you Grew Up?

What did you want to be when you grew up? Looking at what I now want to do career wise it made me remember what I said I wanted to be when I was a kid. From my first flight on a plane at the age of three I want to be an Air Hostess, as it was back then. It then changed to Stewardess and then Flight Attendant. I used to line my teddies and dolls up in overturned stools and practise wiggling up and down the "aisle" with a tea tray in my hands and my red rose patterned plastic coffee and tea sets, forcing pretend beverages on the unsuspecting cuddlies! I continued with that idea all the way through school having decided being a vet wasn't an option since putting animals down was beyond my emotional realm. I tried hard at French in school knowing that I would need a second language, and worked on other subjects knowing I would need a few "O" levels. I left school having decided that "A" levels weren't for me and returned to Malawi where after being ho

   Nicky Wells - Author This time Nicky Wells has taken it to her readers in a big way!! Already known for her Rock Star themed tales, this time we are really let into the sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle - in a very unique way! Well, the band is doing well, the drugs are a bit accidental and the sex ...., erm,  maybe not quite up to muster! Casey and Alex are great friends, co-band members and lovers.  They tie the knot in a spectacular fashion off the French coast and all should be rosy but something happens and the earth moves - no, not in that way - and they find themselves faced with issues that no married couple want to admit to.

Touching on a frequently taboo topic this book actually does give us readers something to think about! I really do not want to give too much away as this is a
