NOTHING IS AS IT APPEARS...IN THIS TWISTING NOVEL FROM THE NATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF DEAD EVEN
A fashion magazine features editor, Leah McDevitt is haunted by the memory of her cherished younger sister, Melissa, who vanished years ago. Missy, whose extraordinary eyes -- one blue, one brown -- may have lured her abductor to her....When Leah receives a letter from death row inmate Raymond Lambert, she eagerly agrees to pay him the long-standing reward for information about Melissa -- even if it means coming face-to-face with a notorious serial killer.
But before Lambert can impart his secrets, he himself is killed. Devastated but determined, Leah heads to the Maine woods to seek out private investigator Ethan Sanger, who authored a book about Lambert in exchange for yet another of Lambert's terrible secrets. Leah and Ethan strike a sparking passion with the power to heal their painful pasts. But someone has his eye on Leah...someone who knows more than he should...and who won't be satisfied until Leah sees the truth with her own eyes.

Mariah Stewart is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of romance, romantic suspense, and women’s fiction. Her current contemporary romance series, the Chesapeake Diaries, is set in the fictional town of St. Dennis on Maryland’s Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, about which #1 bestselling author Robyn Carr says “rich characterizations, a charming setting, and romances you’ll never forget will have you packing your bags for St. Dennis”. She’s also the author of nineteen bestselling romantic suspense novels, including the MERCY STREET, DEAD, TRUTH, and LAST series and the classic stand-alones, BROWN-EYED GIRL and VOICES CARRY. A native of Hightstown, New Jersey, she lives and gardens amidst the rolling hills of southern Chester County, PA, with her husband and a couple of rambunctious rescue dogs. She's the mother of two grown daughters – a psychologist and a prosecutor – and the grandmother of some of the cutest kids on the planet. In past lives, she's been a teacher and an insurance executive, but knows she's found the perfect job: sitting in her sunny office in old sweats and flip flops, making up stories and the characters who live in them, and getting paid for it. Life could not be sweeter.

This is the first book I’ve read in a long while that I truly enjoyed from beginning to end; action was brisk. The protagonists were intelligent and the ending even though it was a surprise was perfect. You do want to read this book.

Brown-eyed Girl by Mariah Stewart is one sweet little suspense novel and I regret that it took me so long to find it. The moral to that statement is order from Amazon and don't depend on your local bookstore.
Leah McDevitt lost a sister, Melissa seven years earlier. She disapeared without a trace and the police suspected foul play but could never prove it since they didn't have a body. Leah makes an appearance on a t.v. show dealing with survivors who have lost someone to crime. During the show, she confirms that the $50,000 reward is still open until she finds out what happens to her sister. Enter into the picture, Raymond Lambert, a convicted serial killer about to be executed. He offers information about Melissa if Leah will pay the reward money to him. Lambert has one vital piece of information that convinces Leah that he knows what happened to Melissa. Before Leah can transfer money into his account, he is killed on death row by another inmate. Not knowing where to turn, Leah contacts Ethan Sanger, the author of a book about Lambert. Sanger doesn't want to get involved. Lambert had left his mark on Ethan years before. Leah convinces him to help not knowing their world is about to come crashing down around them.
Brown-Eyed Girl is beautifully written and keeps your attention. I would have given this book a five except there were times that it was a little too obvious what was coming. However, this is one sharp book. Read it, you'll enjoy it.

I really liked this book. This is the first book I have read by this author and now I am reading another one of her books. This is a book that keeps you on edge and is not one that is predictable.

This book was released 20 years ago, which boggles my mind. I read it a few years after that, sometime in 2006. Since I haven't read it since then, I didn't remember a single thing about it, except that I had enjoyed it.

Surprisingly, it held up pretty well. Despite it being set in 2000, the signs of the times didn't show too badly. There were cell phones but no talks of tracing calls or pinging cell phone towers. But even without all the fancy technology we have now (in 2021), in the novel the FBI and people who were being hunted by bad guys, were able to do their own investigating and I was able to keep up with the story.

It's well written and has a good mystery that kept me interested in the outcome. The romance is sweet and because both hero and heroine have had immense tragedy in their lives, it makes sense that they would fall for each other. They can understand each other.

There's one mildly detailed sex scene, a small bit of language but not much and some violence. There are discussions of murderer and sexual abuse, though there are no on page scenes of that abuse.

Typical Mariah Stewart

Excellent read. Storyline that kept you wanting to read the entire book at one setting. But because it is typical Mariah Stewart, you thing you have it all figured out she throws a curve that you least expect!

Not a quick read, but this book held my attention to the end. This book is a good crime fiction novel.
