Smash Cut (2008) and Tough Customer (2010) are a pair of suspense novels linked by the Mitchell & Associates law firm. In Smash Cut, a defense attorney gets drawn into a murder case that revolves around a wealthy, movie-obsessed young man who may be more dangerous than anyone suspects. Tough Customer shifts the focus to a different set of characters but keeps the same tense, twisting style.

These books show Sandra Brown at her most polished in the suspense genre. Both combine Southern settings, complicated relationships, and criminal schemes that keep you guessing. They work well as standalones, but reading both gives you a fuller picture of the world around the firm.
