The Witness was rather middle-of-the road for me as far as Sandra Brown books go. My favorites by her are
Mirror Image and
Slow Heat in Heaven, which both have old-school alpha (re: jerk) heroes
Her writing style really changed when she went to hardcover. She slowly stopped writing romance altogether. I view her as a mystery author now, sometimes with a romantic element, but not always or even usually nowadays. I am about 5 books behind on her at the moment. The last book I read of hers was
Rainwater, which is in no way a mystery.
I would recommend
Envy or maybe
Smoke Screen to start. If you want more romantic suspense try
French Silk. I’m not sure how well some of her older books have stood the test of time as
Mirror Image and
Slow Heat in Heaven are the only ones I’ve reread recently.
