Publisher Description
The sole survivor of a brutal crime, Reece Gilmore is on the run, desperately fighting the panic attacks and the nightmares that haunt her. She doesn't intend to stay in the sleepy town of Angel's Fist one second longer than she needs to, despite its friendly - if curious - inhabitants, and the irresistible attraction of local writer Brody.
However, on a hike into the mountains she witnesses a couple having a vicious argument that culminates in murder. Faced with a lack of evidence, the authorities in Angel's Fist find it hard to believe Reece's story. But when a series of menacing events prove that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody - the one person who does believe her - to find the murderer before it's too late.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Roberts's latest novel of romantic suspense is a cunningly calibrated portrait of a young chef's recovery from violent trauma. While driving in the Grand Tetons, displaced Bostonian Reece Gilmore stops in the small town of Angel's Fist, near Jackson Hole, Wyo., and considers the "Cook Wanted" sign in Joanie's, a local diner. Still rattled by a shooting spree at her Boston restaurant that left her wounded and the only survivor among 12 co-workers, Reece is easily spooked, as noted by her plainspoken new boss, Joanie, and the locals who frequent the restaurant. Among them is a wary, unattached mystery novelist, Brody. Indeed, when Reece claims to have witnessed a murder while hiking along Snake River, few except Brody are inclined to believe the skittish new resident: Sheriff Rick Mardson hasn't found any clear evidence of a woman struck down near the river; Doc Wallace is suspicious of Reece's fragile mental state; and Joanie isn't about to cut Reece any slack while running a busy kitchen. Roberts cleverly casts suspicions on the locals while developing the romance between the two feisty protagonists. A slow-burn start combusts in a satisfying denouement; Roberts's legions of fans will be enthralled.
Customer Reviews
Great Read
Definitely worth the read, lots of twists and turns. I loved this book
Top notch story!
Angels Fall - Nora Roberts
Nice to sink my teeth into an establish author.
The prose is great, setting is rural and atmospheric, with the main characters surrounded by both good and suspect people.
The heroine has suffered, shot during a massacre, seen the inside of mental hospital and has decided to run away, alone.
Eventually ends up in rural Wyoming, gets a job, starts to fit in, then sees what she believes is a murder.
It a well written thriller about the search to find the perpetrator, some misleading hints, the odd hook-up and some of the best landscape for a setting.
A quick read (always a good sign) of a long story than never relaxed 5/5
