The two police officers who are investigating Emory’s disappearance seem, on the surface, like simple cops who don’t know how to conduct an investigation. Sandra Brown has the ability to provide us with entertaining characters who range from heroic and likeable, to downright bad and morally bankrupt. Emory spends four days with this unnamed man and her experiences with him challenge her very neat, well-ordered and uncomplicated life. Can she trust this man to help her or is he a threat? This stranger will not give her any details about his life, not even his name. One weekend while she is training in the remote hills of North Carolina, Emory suffers a blow to the head and wakes up in a remote cabin with a man hovering over her that she has never seen before. At the core of the book is the story of Emory Chardonneau, a well-respected and hardworking physician who likes to run marathons. There is so much content to the plot of this book that I am eager to write about, but I also don’t want to give too much away. I resisted the mystery/suspense genre for a long time but I have read 3 great books this summer in this genre that I really enjoyed, and Mean Streak is among them. Mean Streak is a riveting book and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very last page.
