Fat Tuesday - Sandra Brown

I haven't read too many of Sandra Brown's books so this was an interesting read.

The synopsis for Fat Tuesday is as follows:
Burke Basile is the hard-bitten cop whose world shattered when a fellow officer died from a bullet fired from Burke's own handgun. When his unhappy marriage crumbles, and he has nothing left to lose, Burke focuses his rage on his nemesis: Pinkie Duvall, a sinister, flamboyant defense attorney who has just helped a known killer get away with another murder. Determined to bring the powerful Duvall down, Burke strikes at the attorney's most vulnerable spot: the gorgeous wife Duvall pampers but keeps prisoner, a woman whose love Pinkie will never have.

-------------------

I enjoyed the read - it moved fast and the characters while simple were easy enough to sympathise with and relate to. The gung-ho (read indestructable) character of Basile is maybe a little far-fetched at times but if you enjoy that kind of character then it's not too shabby.

The book moved fast and made for good reading - not a hugely complicated story with some subtle twists without any major leaps of faith.
