I have never been a solid fan of Nora Roberts' novels... (except those she writes as J.D. Robb) IMO her books are usually unnecessarily long and too much on the romantic side for my tastes. I needed the author's initials for a challenge...yeah...a great reason to read a book! Once I started it I couldn't put it down. I don't believe I have ever connected so much with a character as I did with Elizabeth/Abigail. The other characters...both good guys and bad guys... had such well developed personalities that they complimented her at every turn. Nora Roberts has written a first rate mystery novel with just the right amount of suspense and along the way has avoided all the cliches with how she ended it. I had some expectations of how things would go when Abigail and the bad guys finally confront each other after twelve years, but it didn't happen the way I thought. but still a very satisfying end. 5 stars Nora...you earned them!
