Southern Lights is a breathtaking novel that takes us from the grit and chaos of Manhattan’s criminal court system to the genteel South, a place that Alexa Hamilton left behind after her husband’s betrayal led to a complicated and heartbreaking divorce. Alexa settled in New York, buoyed by a dogged ambition that has finally paid off: She’s become an assistant D.A. known for handling—and winning—only the toughest cases. But Alexa isn’t prepared for the personal cost that could befall her should her prosecution of serial killer Luke Quentin be successful. She’s convinced that despite being behind bars, the vicious psychopath is the one sending letters threatening the welfare of her 17-year-old daughter. With her only child in jeopardy, Alexa makes the difficult decision to send Savannah back to the father she barely knows. Will the city of Charleston, the vanguard of Southern charm and gentility, seduce Savannah as she, too, was once seduced?
From the rage of a hardened criminal and the tender bond between mother and daughter, to the still raw grievances of the past, Danielle Steel breaks new ground in this masterfully told tale you won’t soon forget.

Really liked the way she wrote this book. I don't normally read her books but this one was full of suspense, Anger, hate and so much more.. And in the end you all get what you deserve.. Loved it

I really liked this book.I sometimes find her books boring and repetative but this one was not.

Ignor the few critics harsh words!! This is a very well written book and worth your time and money. I would rate it as the top of the list of her books I have read.

I have purchased every D.S. book, and I am a big fan of her writing. This time, I was disappointed. I felt like she tried to forage into the area of suspense/romance, and it was a complete failure. It was anti-climatic, and even the romance itself was luke warm at best. Her story line was repetitive and focused on the bitter separation that never healed.
I read the entire novel thinking that it would all come together, but it did not leave a satisfied feeling in the end. I was left wanting more.
