Angels Fall

by Nora Roberts

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts explores the wilds of the Grand Tetons—and the mysteries of love, murder, and madness—in this engrossing and passionate novel.

The sole survivor of a brutal crime back East, Reece Gilmore settles in Angel’s Fall, Wyoming—temporarily, at least—and takes a job at a local diner. One day, while hiking in the mountains, she peers through her binoculars and sees a couple arguing on the bank of the churning Snake River. And suddenly, the man is on top of the woman, his hands around her throat...

By the time Reece reaches a gruff loner named Brody farther down the trail, the pair is gone. And when authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they find no trace that anyone was even there.

No one in Angel’s Fall seems to believe Reece—except Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep her at arm’s length. When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody—and herself—to find out if there is a killer in Angel’s Fall, before it’s too late.

Reece Gilmour is running from her past and her nightmares and finds herself in the small town of Angel's Fist. There she finds a job and a hope of a future. A mutual attraction starts with Brody, a local writer. Reece, however, witnesses a murder for which there is no evidence or body. She starts to doubt her own sanity when strange things start happening.

A very readable Nora Roberts book, I quite enjoyed it and was guessing up to nearly the end as to who was the murderer.

This is only the second NR I’ve read, and it came recommended to me. Great recommendation! I really enjoyed this. Reece and Brody’s chemistry was realistic, as well as the portrayal of small-town life and Reece’s own reactions to what happened to her. I guessed who the bad guy was shortly before the characters did, but it was a satisfactory ending. I liked it enough that I’m starting another NR right away, though I usually don’t read books by one author in a row.
