Publisher Description
“America’s favorite writer” (The New Yorker), #1 bestselling phenomenon Nora Roberts, delivers an emotion-charged thriller in Night Shift—the first Night Tales novel—revealing the passionate relationship between a late night deejay being stalked over the airwaves and the police detective assigned to protect her.
Cilla O’Roarke’s voice breaks the darkened, early a.m. silence, connecting with the lost and lonely listeners who tune in and hang on every word she whispers. Admiring, awkward callers come with the territory, but the man threatening to kill her rings in every night, relentless in his cruelty. Assigned to protect Cilla, Detective Boyd Fletcher meets a strong-willed woman who’s suspicious of cops, but willing to accept his help. Now, together in close quarters, Cilla and Boyd find their growing mutual desire undeniable—even as a predator moves ever closer for the kill.
Customer Reviews
Midnight hour on the radio
Cilla is a really good DJ with her fabulous voice and her knowledge of rock ‘n’ roll. She has a call-in line from midnight to one. One night a really threatening male voice calls in and tells her he is going to kill her. After several calls her boss gets the police involved. Boyd and Althea become close, personal protectors for her. Villa is mad at them. They are invading her world. She can take care of herself.
The story unfolds with all kinds of complications. Very enjoyable characters and very frightening moments that keep the reader racing to find out how this all turns out.
Not my fave
This wasn’t a favorite. I didn’t connect with the characters like I normally do with NR books. There wasn’t a lot of development there. Not a lot a backstory. What about Althea? Why the tattoo? Just think I’ve seen more detail in other books she has written. I’ll always read another NR book. This one just didn’t hit the mark for me.
Not her best work
I am a huge Nora Roberts fan, but this book felt off. Too much angst all the way through the book was off-putting. I didn’t care for the main character’s traits and struggled to relate or even understand her. The whole thing was jarring and made my jaws ache from clinching. I wound up skipping to the end to see “whodunnit” and discovered it was who I thought right off the bat. Sorry, Nora. You’ve done better. This book has turned me off of the Night series.
