About this audiobook
Carl Herbold enjoys being bad. After all, he is terrifyingly good at it. Stimulated by violence, he and his brother, Cecil, had easily graduated from juvenile delinquents to full-blown killers. And Carl, now serving a life sentence in an Arkansas penitentiary, carries out a daring escape with a fellow inmate and is on his way back to where he began--Blewer County, Texas.
Ann Corbett had been widowed right before her son was born. Beset by debt and personal tragedy, she faces the toughest challenge of her life--holding on to the ranch that is her son's birthright--unaware that she is at the center of Carl Herbold's vengeful plan. Ezzy Hardge is a retired lawman who is haunted by the one crime he sacrificed everything to solve, but could not. And Jack Sawyer, a seemingly easygoing cowboy and drifter whose past is shrouded in mystery, understands Herbold's twisted mind and his hate-filled lust for vengeance. Risking exposure of his own troubled past, Jack arrives at Anna Corbett's ranch asking for work, but in reality hoping to protect the innocent deaf woman and her young son from Herbold's rage.
Carl Herbold's prison break draws them inexorably toward a day of reckoning: Ezzy, an over-the-hill peace officer seeking redemption; Jack, a man stalked by dark secrets he can no longer outrun; and Anna, a beautiful woman locked in silence and self-imposed isolation. All must grapple with their own demons before their tumultuous confrontation with a diabolical killer.
Realistic, sharp-edged, and complex, Sandra Brown's latest work is so suspenseful it zings like a high-tension wire. Unspeakable, with its haunting images and breathtaking pace, is the best Sandra Brown yet.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Chilling crime story of two amoral brothers is the backdrop for a retired law man and his new love. I read this one several times. Warning it will give you the chills!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5kind of stupid with lots of sex. what for?
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The book was not unspeakably bad, but pretty bad. My hopes for some depth (around the sheriff, the heroine, and the drifter) were dashed pretty quickly. The longest sustained character interest was w/the sheriff and his wife, but even that remained 'relationship lite.' The main romance was predictable, evil characters only that. Perhaps this author was once much more engaged and better? Try an earlier book?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sort of predictable, but good characters and story line12/1/98
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Readable story with plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book! This book kept me guessing all the way to the very end as to who did what.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Asking me if I could have read just one Sandra Brown novel would be like asking me if I could eat just one piece of chocolate. Ah no!
I think this may be my favorite novel by Sandra Brown that I've read to date. Mystery, suspense, romance are all between the covers of "Unspeakable!" I really enjoyed every page-turning moment. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Damn these books are good in a guilty unapologetic way. Good plot, great pacing, likable characters, good villains make this book one that you're unable to put down.I realize this type of book is written in a formula to appeal to the masses. That millions of these are printed in paperbacks and sold in the every airport and second hand swap shop around. They're good and a quick satisfying read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good book. Couldn't put it down.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was fairly predictable. Evil land developers want to buy the ranch from Anna’s father in law. He doesn’t want to sell. She lives there with her son and the town thinks she’s screwing him now that her husband is dead. Meanwhile, the criminals are escaping from prison and planning to come down and take revenge on their stepfather. Seems that they hated him and thought he ruined their lives. On the way, they commit several murders and rapes. Back at the ranch, Anna meets this guy on the road who fixes her car and then turns up at the ranch, the newly hired ranch hand. She is suspicious because her father in law has never hired anyone else on before. When some cattle are poisoned, the already uneasy father in law thinks he did it. He showed up at the ranch at just the time that the developers are putting pressure on him to sell. Jack protests enough so that they believe he didn’t do it.The writing is on the wall for Anna and Jack to totally fall in love when they bicker and argue at first. Then there are a few close encounters where they almost kiss. It’s very tender and intense. I got a little horny just listening to it. It helps his case that he and the kid get along. Also it helps when he takes a huge dislike to the smarmy banker guy who is after Anna and the ranch.Eventually, the bad guys get to Texas and head straight for the ranch. By now, the father in law has dies of a heart attack and it’s just Jack, Anna and the kid at home. I was prepared for a long siege where Jack rescued them along with the elderly ex-sheriff, but it didn’t go down that way. The criminals were only in the house for a short time and didn’t rape Anna or hurt the kid. Jack got beat up and the banker guy showed up and got killed (very convenient) and the moron criminal outside got killed and then Jack killed the other criminal guy. It was a nice ending but it didn’t go much further ahead than just that. I would have liked to see a bit of Jack and Anna’s future. It turns out that Jack was at the ranch because he knew the criminals would head there. He wanted to deal with them because his father committed a crime that they were blamed for (although not tried and convicted for). It was a little cloudy, but that was the reason.
