Birthright

by Nora Roberts

From beloved author Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller about shattering loss and shocking discovery—set in a small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains…

When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.

While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project—fueling rumors that the site is cursed. She must cope with the presence of her irritating—but irresistible—ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well...

Reviews

[ibeforem]

This is the first Nora Roberts book I’ve read (under her own name, at least — I’m a J.D. Robb fan). I thought it was pretty good. The plotlines were interesting, and I thought things were woven together well. The climax of the book was unexpected. The only thing I thought was a little too neat was the way everyone (except the villains, of course) ended up with what — or who — they wanted in the end.

I do wonder how someone who has written 80+ books can come up with enough unique story lines and situations. I’m interested in reading another of her books to see if I spot formulaic things.
