Book Description:
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.

This book was awsome. I read a preveiw of it in another book and searched for this book for two months afterward. It was worth the search I loved it. One of Nora Roberts Best books.

This is the second Nora Roberts book that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. In this story, Reece Gilmore is trying to put her life back together after being the sole survivor of a brutal crime back in Boston. She has been drifting around the country and settles down in Angel's Fist, Wyoming because that is where her car broke down and she ran out of money. She takes a job as a short-order cook in the local diner and tries to act as normal as possible. She is doing an okay job of it until she goes hiking one day and witnesses a brutal murder. She is the only witness, and the police can't find a body, or a missing person, or any evidence of a crime. No one believes her except for a gruff loner named Brody. Everyone else thinks she is having flashbacks from the crime back in Boston. Reece must prove that there was really a murder or else she has fears for her own sanity. I just couldn't put this book down - the mystery kept me guessing until the very end.

Another intruiging story from my favorite author. It kept me guessing to the end and I still didn't see it coming. Glad I didn't see the film before I read the book.

great read-she pulls you in and keeps you there-hard to put down. The location is described so beautifully, you can almost see it.
The best book I've read in a long time.

A really good "who done it" book. I could not figure it out until almost the end. I believe there is a movie on the Lifetime channel that Heather Locklear plays this main character. An excellent read as most Nora Roberts books are.

This book was really good. It has romance and suspense. The characters are unique in their own way. In the middle of the book, I thought I knew 'who did it' and then I changed my mind only to find out I was right with my first guess. It only goes to show you, trust your instincts.

This book was a real page turner. Reece is the sole survivor of a brutal crime back East. Trying to regain her lift she settles temporarily near the Tetons. While hiking she witnesses a murder below her on a cliff. By the time she reaches Brody, a gruff loner, further down the trail the couple are gone. No one seems to believe Reece except Brody. The story has witty dialogue, engaging, quirky characters. sizzling romance and a beautiful setting.

Robin M. (The heroine moves to a small Wyoming town to escape her violent past. One day she witnesses a murder. But by the time she calls for help, there is no body, no missing person, and no evidence of a crime. No one believes her except one lone man.

Excellent whodunit.
