Commentary During Books Ransom

A violent crime brings together four lives in Danielle Steel's sixtieth bestselling novel, the story of a mother's courage, a family's terror, and a triumph of human strength and dignity in the face of overwhelming odds.

Outside the gates of a California prison, Peter Morgan is released after four long years and vows to redeem himself in the eyes of the young daughters he left behind. Simultaneously, Carl Waters, a convicted murderer, is set on the path of freedom with him. That night, three hundred miles south in San Francisco, police detective Ted Lee comes home to a silent house; for twenty-nine years, he has been living for his job--and slowly falling out of love with his wife. Across town, in an exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood, a mother tries to shield her three children from the panic rising within her. Four months after her husband's death, Fernanda Barnes faces a mountain of debt she cannot repay, a world destroyed, and a marriage lost.

Within weeks, the lives of these four people will collide in ways none of them could have foreseen. For Fernanda, whose life had once been graced by beautiful homes, security, success, and stunning wealth, the death of her brilliant, brooding husband was already too much to bear. She simply couldn't imagine a greater loss, until a devastating crime rocks her family to its core--and brings Detective Ted Lee into her life.

A man of unshakable integrity, Lee will soon become the one person who tries to save Fernanda's family from a terrifying fate. Fernanda must draw on a strength she never knew she had. Racing against time in the underbelly of the criminal world, buffeted by the dark side of power, and unmoored by loss and betrayal, no one can predict where this tragedy will take them.

Danielle Steel brilliantly explores the collision of a shocking crime with the ordinary lives of its victims in a novel that mesmerizes from start to finish. Ransom is at once a riveting evocation of life's inexplicable turns of fate and a testament to the human will to survive.

Critique Based On Books Ransom

The love of a mother for her children and the foolhardiness of some who cannot manage money and fame is portrayed excellently in this thrilling novel. One of Steels best works. It shows the having hope and courage is the most important thing in life and will finally bear sweet fruit in the end.

Ransom is one of Danielle Steel's better works. It's almost as if she has an alleged ghostwriter, the ghost writer was Sidney Sheldon's distant relative. The last part held my attention. The ending was infused with Danielle's Steel's romantic touch. This is worth taking the time to read.

Awesome book! Fernanda Barnes is a widow with three children, Will, Ashley, & Sam. Her husband had committed suicide & she is left with a large debt. This is the start of the chain of events that ends in a ransom for one of her children.I found myself drawn in to a riveting story, which kept me on the edge of my chair, with my heart pounding. This has suspense and drama with a little romance.

This book started out with a good premise, but was predictable from start to finish. But I finished it, hoping it would be something that it never turned out to be. But that is okay I guess. Not every book is going to be a 5 star book. This wasn't fit for my "totally lame" shelf, but was also not even average, hence, 2 stars.

I bought this book in a second hand shop, on holiday, after finding another brilliant book by the same author on the 'leave a book you liked' shelf in our hired cottage. I was rather disappointed- I spent years trying to read the book, and failing after a few chapters, primarily because there were, in my eyes, too many similar characters, and I was having difficulty in differentiating between them...Not so long ago, I decided it was time I defeated the book. I settled myself down, determined to

I got this audiobook at a library book sale for $2 and want my $2 back. This book was awful so I'm thankful I at least got the abridged version of the audiobook. I find it ridiculous for any woman to leave all financial knowledge & decisions to their husband so I didn't like Fernanda from the start. I did not like most of the characters (Peter did have a choice, why portray it like he had no choice? Why was everyone drawn to Fernanda who just seems like a worthless doormat?, etc) so really
