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.

良く書けてるロマサスin田舎町。後半サスペンスが盛り上がってドキドキ面白かった！
ワイオミングが舞台で映画向きな物語と思ったら2007年にヘザーロックリア主演で映画化してました📹✨（スターとは言えアラサーのはずのヒロインに46歳の女優を使うのは無理があったかと）
ヒロインの過去を更にショッキングにしてロマンスを甘くして犬を足したら2016年作品の『The Obsessionひそやかな悪夢』になるかも？ 個人的には2016年作の『The Obsession』の方が好みだけど今作も良く書けてるのにノーラ先生は名作多いからこそ埋もれ気味で、もっと評価されても良い作品と思う。
ヒロインのリースはフランスのコルドンブルーで料理を勉強したり都会のレストランで活躍してインタビューをされるような腕の良いシェフだったので今後のキャリアが楽しみだな～。彼女の料理本も読みたい📚✨作品内に出て来る音楽が懐かしくニヤニヤ（シェリルクロウ、シャナイアトゥエイン、ウィノナジャッドetc） 自然に囲まれた田舎町の雰囲気が伝わって来てそこも楽しめる作品。 2006年出版
