The Obsession by Nora Roberts

The Obsession is a novel of suspense/romance that follows the classic Nora Roberts pattern of story-telling.  As a young girl, Naomi discovers a horrible secret about her father and his crimes against women put him in prison for life. Years later, Naomi has built a new identity for herself as a professional photographer and has relocated to a beautiful old home in Washington state.  There she meets Xander, a mechanic and a looker, who takes an active interest in her.  Things are going well, until a woman is found raped and murdered not far from Naomi's new home.  This sets off an investigation of a copycat killer that may be someone from Naomi's past.  Nora Roberts has a distinct way of sucking the reader in and although the story was somewhat predictable, I was fully engaged by it.  I especially liked the characters, the setting and the role of Tag, an abandoned mutt that Naomi rescues from the side of the road.  If you're a fan of Nora, you will most likely add The Obsession to your list of favorites.  If you've never read her (hard to believe) this would be a good one to get your feet wet.
