Advantages: A good read
Disadvantages: None
Storyline:
The sole survivor of a brutal crime, Reece Gilmore has been on the run, desperately fighting the nightmares and panic attacks 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. By the time Reece finds Brody and brings him to the scene, both killer and victim are gone. Faced with a lack of evidence, the authorities find it hard to believe Reece's story. After all, she's a newcomer in town and yet has already gained a reputation for being jumpy - maybe even a little fragile. But when a series of menacing occurrences makes it clear 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
My opinion:
This is quite an interesting book from Nora, how would you react if everyone around you thinks you are going mad? Reece is a very troubled lady, who was a witness to not one, but two terrible crimes, the latter of which no on believes happened. The perpetrator is also out to ensure that everyone continues to believe that she is insane.
It is only with the help of Brody that she begins to find the strength within herself to face up to her past, and find not only the victim, but also the murderer.
This is not one of Nora's best novels, as some of the characters are not as well drawn as in previous novels. However the setting and the storyline is good, and you really get the feeling of living in Angel's fall and the isolation and loneliness of the countryside is reflected in Reece. Fans of Nora will love it.
Summary: Another good read from Nora.
