by Mary Stewart
To me, Mary Stewart is the best and will always be the best romantic suspense author. There are many reasons for my case. The most obvious one is this book, and might I say her first. Madam, Will You Talk features the best car chasing scene I've ever read. Not the Bourne Identity kind of chase, but a quiet, poignant, heart-thumping, most beautifully written kind you have to read it yourself to grasp what it's all about. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this. 5/5
Read it for yourself.
