This was the first book I read by Nora Roberts. I had the impression that she wrote sappy romance novels, but I was mistaken. In this book she expertly combined mystery, suspense, murder, and romance into a capivating story that was beautifully written. I have never been to Wyoming, but her descriptions painted such a vivid picture for my imagination that I am interesting in visiting Wyoming now.

Once again, Nora Roberts superbly writes a murder mystery that keeps you turning the pages. The heroine is very likeable because she is imperfect like most of us. It was gratifying to see her successfully reach each milestone during her recovery process from a horrifically tragic event. The best part was she didn't have to do it alone. She makes some wonderful friends in Angels Fist, Wyoming, and I guarantee you will fall in love with each one of these characters. This includes the reluctant hero, Brody, who did not sign up for the job and never wanted any part of the action. But he's a keeper! The dialogue throughout the book is wonderful because it makes you feel as if you are right there watching the story unfold. That is the gift of a good writer and Nora Roberts has hit the mark again!

Great plot, loved the fact the main character is a chef, has a lot of foodie type information that I enjoyed.

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. She 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 thinks, as she peers through her binoculars at the Snake River churning below.
And then she sees the man and woman on the opposite bank. Arguing. Fighting. And suddenly, he's on top of her, 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 is gone. And 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. Perhaps 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.

This was a fantastic read. Not only was it one of her best romance stories, it involves suspense. This is a must read!!

Well written book that kept me on the edge of my seat. A very sweet love story in addition to a murder mystery sprinkled with some great cooking! I would love to have the recipe for Chicken Frangelico!

Good mystery, very descriptive of the area. I identified the killer early, but maybe I read too many mysteries!

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. She settles in Angel's Fist, WY and takes a job at a local diner.
Hiking one day, she sees a man and woman fighting. She sees the man kill the woman. When she tells the sheriff, he doesn't believe her neither do most of the townsfolk.
Only a handful of her new friends believe her one being a gruff, lone writer named Brody.
After searching and not finding any evidence of a struggle or murder things begin to happen to Reece to make her think she's going crazy.
------This is a really good book. I love Nora Roberts.

When Ms. Roberts writes romantic suspense, she is truly in her element. With touches of dialogue and character development that remind me of Eve Dallas in the "...IN DEATH" series written as J.D. Robb, ANGELS FALL is a great example of a thrilling, exciting, yet romantic story that puts you right in the middle of what is going on. If you like romantic suspense, if you like action-adventure, if you like a good thriller mixed in with an engaging "who dun it?" mystery, you'll truly enjoy ANGELS FALL!!
