If you want a light fast-paced read this is a good one. ( )The only survivor of a New York restaurant massacre, Reece Gilmore is running from memories and her own fragile mental state. Picking her routes by chance, she's worked her way across the United States staying only briefly in any one place. But car trouble and lack of funds lands her in Angels Fall, Colorado, and something convinces her to stay - at least for a little while. Unfortunately, fate has more in store for her. Out hiking, she witnesses a murder. But when she reports the crime, there's no body to be found and almost no one believes her - except the killer. If you've ever seen the movie Gaslight with Ingred Bergman, you'll know where Roberts found her inspiration. Chilling, and very well-plotted. Reece Gilmore is the sole survivor of a vicious Boston massacre. When she decides that she's a different person in the aftermath she decides to travel the country picking up stray jobs to get by. She lands in Angels Fist, Wyoming, when her car quits on her and lines up a short order cook job and a small apartment. As she settles in, she witnesses a horrific murder up on the trails near the town. Or does she? A good mystery and a good love story, but nothing truly spectacular here. Slightly disappointing. This was an okay romance, though I saw the real killer coming pretty early. I hate it when that happens. Not her greatest work, but a nice portrait of a woman who manages to survive tragedy and become stronger for it... and fall in love with a sexy writer. LaNora always gives me exactly what I want, and this particular book was interesting to dissect for my current project of learning how to write mystery/suspense. She is my role model, I swear.I also got a really nice picture of the setting Nora chose -- Montana, I believe? And has a great cast of secondary characters, which LaNora does so well. 0.045 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
