Book description
Tough Customer - An Audiobook Review
Sandra Brown has a knack for turning ordinary suspense into something that crackles in your ears, and Tough Customer is no exception. The narration-performed by the author's own voice in a clear, engaging cadence-adds an extra layer of intimacy to every tense moment. Brown's prose is tight and electric; you can almost feel the pulse of danger thrum beneath each sentence.
The story kicks off with a chilling threat: a deranged stalker is after Caroline King's daughter, Berry. The stakes are raised instantly when the only person who can help is Dodge Hanley, the private investigator who hasn't seen Caroline in thirty years. Brown throws us into a web of past regrets and present urgency as Dodge grapples with guilt that has finally caught up to him. The audio pacing keeps you on edge-each chapter ends on a cliffhanger that feels inevitable yet fresh.
What makes this audiobook stand out is how the narrator brings out the characters' inner lives. Caroline's fear, Berry's resilience, and Dodge's weary determination are all voiced with subtlety that turns page-turning into heart-racing listening. Brown's dialogue is snappy; her descriptions of Texas small-town life feel vivid enough to transport you from your living room to a dusty sheriff's office.
The climax is a masterclass in suspense: the stalker claims other victims, and the clues start pointing directly at Berry. Dodge teams with a local sheriff, but as danger escalates, he realizes he's risking more than just his career-he might lose himself too. The resolution delivers a satisfying payoff that leaves you breathing heavy, yet satisfied.
If you're a fan of Brown's Thick As Thieves or simply love a well-crafted thriller with strong character arcs, this audiobook is an absolute must-listen. It's the kind of story that will have you reaching for your phone to call a friend after every tense turn-just to confirm you're safe and still listening.
