Noah Maitland seemed to sure of himself and others and seemed unforgiving until the last few pages. Noah's sister cheered the pages up a bit, but the story seemed a bit uneven for me (  ) gogglemiss | Jan 3, 2008 |  The heady social whirl of San Francisco and Palm Beach are utterly foreign to Sloan Reynolds. A dedicated and popular policewoman in a small Florida community, petite, blond Sloan values her investigative work than a Dior dress. As a child, Sloan was aware that the small-town life she shared with her divorced mother was a long way from the rarefied world of privilege inhabited by her socialite father and her elegant sister, Sloan dreamed secretly of being reunited with the family she'd never known. Total strangers to her, they have never tried to contact Sloan - until her father's heart attack is followed by a sudden invitation to meet him and Paris, and indulge in the Palm Beach social season. DunnFunKat | Sep 18, 2007 | Predictable but enjoyable. Women were all looking for men-and ONLY men! and the usual old love making scenes. Got boring after awhile. 7/9/99 ( ) cindyloumn | Jan 27, 2007 | Great book! Romance, secrets, and suspense! Wonderful read!!! (  ) LibGirl28 | Oct 24, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Prepared to hate Palm Beach and all its inhabitants, Sloan is surprised to find herself drawn towards Paris, her cranky great-grandmother, and Paris's neighbors, the Maitland family--particularly Noah Maitland. Noah has all the characteristics of Mr. Perfect, which is exactly what scares Sloan. How could someone so sophisticated, smart, and handsome be attracted to her?
But just as the two begin to explore their attraction, Sloan's hopes for her new family and friends crumble. Paul closes in on the dark truth about Carter Reynolds and his suspicions expand to include Noah. Soon, Sloan is an unwilling accomplice in the investigation against Noah, and when a horrible murder occurs, she just may be the next victim.
Bestselling author Judith McNaught has all the ingredients for a great romantic thriller in Night Whispers: the handsome and not-quite-aboveboard hero, the optimistic lady-cop, a handful of exotic and unreadable socialites, and all in all she delivers the goods. Even so, the fact that nearly everyone couples off at the end feels slightly trite, and the motivations of the true killer are somewhat unconvincing. Apart from these minor flaws, Night Whispers remains an entertaining and certainly worthwhile read. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
