French Silk

French Silk by Sandra Brown
Claire grew up poor and removed from her mothers house. She now with a friend runs a lingerie shop in New Orleans and does
even better with a mail order catalog. There is a stumbling block-the minister, Jackson Wilde who thinks her work is porn and tries to get her shut down.
When he is found dead from his wife, who had spent the previous night with the stepson going over their music, she is accused of his murder as her business name is on the minister's hit list of places to shut down.
There are very fiery hot steamy sex scenes that go along with the story line and as you discover other clues to help solve this murder.
Cassidy is the detective in charge and he's falling for her. Just when you think you know the outcome things change and you think it possibly can't be who it is! ( )

Excellent book tho ending was a little flat. Claire is accused of murdering Jackson Wilde and the prosecutor Cassidy falls in love while investigating her ( )

Sandra is a talented writer. She has written an interesting mystery/romance. She keeps the reader curious about what will happen next and she provides some interesting twists. The ending was looking like it would be as expected but then had an interesting turn. The language and romance is somewhat graphic but reasonable. Overall, I liked the book. ( )

While not the best of books, there is a fairly decent story here. Good enough for an afternoon read, at least. ( )

Claire Laurent is the owner of French Silk, a successful lingerie company in New Orleans. When famous TV evangelist Jackson Wilde is murdered, Claire becomes a suspect and will have to reveal a family secret in order to prove her innocence. Full of steamy intrigue, a philandering politician, an unstable model, a hypocritical preacher, plenty of lingerie, and a recipe for the decadent French Silk pie, this story is sure to please. ( )
