Nora Roberts delivers another entertaining novel of romantic suspense. Reece Gilmore is traveling across the country trying to escape her past trauma and maybe build a new life. When her car breaks down in Angel's Fist, Wyoming she decides to stay for a while. Soon, she becomes the only witness to a murder. With local resident and writer of mystery novels, Brody, she tries to solve the case. The murderer makes it more difficult by taking advantage of her past trauma, trying to make her think she's crazy. Suspicion is cast on several local residents, and the murderer must be one of them. This is definitely a summer book. The plot isn't too complicated, the characters are likable and it's a quick read. Roberts isn't a literary genius, but she's not writing dreck, either. I particularly enjoyed the setting of rural Wyoming. It seemed an idyllic place to settle down and build a life, with stunning landscapes and townspeople you feel like you're already friends with.
