Angels Fall
#1 New York Times-bestselling author Nora Roberts explores the wilds of the Grand Tetons-and the mysteries of love, murder, and madness-in her engrossing and passionate new novel.
Reece Gilmore has come a long way to see the stunning view below her. As the sole survivor of a brutal crime back East, she has been on the run, desperately fighting the nightmares and panic attacks that haunt her. Reece settles in Angel's Fist, Wyoming-temporarily, at least-and takes a job at a local diner. And now she's hiked this mountain all by herself. It was glorious, she thought, as she peered through her binoculars at the Snake River churning below.
Then Reece saw the man and woman on the opposite bank. Arguing. Fighting. And suddenly, the man was on top of the woman, his hands around her throat . . .
Enjoying a moment of solitude a bit farther down the trail is a gruff loner named Brody. But by the time Reece reaches him and brings him to the scene, the pair has vanished. When authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they find nothing. No signs of struggle. No freshly turned earth. Not even a tire track.
And no one in Angel's Fist seems to believe her. After all, she's a newcomer in town, with a reputation for being jumpy and jittery-maybe even a little fragile. Maybe it's time to run again, to move on . . .
Reece Gilmore knows there's a killer in Angel's Fist, even if Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep her at arm's length, is the only one willing to believe her. When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody-and herself-to find out if there is a killer in Angel's Fist before it's too late.

Oplæser: Karin Rørbech. OK oplæsning.
Når Nora Roberts skriver godt - så er det rigtig godt. Spænding, natur og kærlighedshistorie går op i en højere enhed. Og det gælder også Månens mørke side. En velskrevet, spændende og uforudsigelig roman, hvor kærlighedshistorien ikke bliver kvalmende.
Vi møder Reece, der er på flugt. Hun er nok mest på flugt fra sin egen skygge. Men der ligger en uhyggelig og trist historie bagved.
Reece finder sig til rette i en lille by i Wyoming. Hun får job som kok og en lille lejlighed. Men der sker sære ting rundt om hende. Skræmmende og uforklarlige ting. Hvorfor? Og måske bør hun pakke kufferten og rejse videre. Men hun er jo glad for byen. For byens folk. For sit arbejde. For Brody - den hotte forfatter, der tror på hende.
Spændende og underholdende.

God, men ikke en af Nora Roberts bedste, eller også forventede jeg for meget.
Men kærlighedshistorien fyldte på en eller anden måde for meget, der var visse afsnit jeg bare skimmede igennem da de ikke rigtig bragte historien videre. Desuden virkede slutningen forjaget og abrupt, og jeg sad tilbage med en fornemmelse af: Var det det?

Denne bog kan klart anbefales, hvis man er til en god blanding af romantik og krimi krydret med små psykologiske twists. Spændingen bliver holdt lige til det sidste, hvilket er et stort plus i min bog

Dette er en virkelig spændende historie om en kvindes rejse igennem Amerika, som fik sin start grundet en nærdødsoplevelse og ender ved at hun er vidne til et grusomt mord. Et mord som hun er det eneste vidne til. Et mord som mangler lig, spor og en gerningsmand. Et mord i en lille by hvor alle kender alle. Eller gør de nu også det? Var det noget hun bildte sig ind eller har de en morder iblandt dem?
