COME SUNDOWN by Nora
Roberts
The only other Nora Roberts (J D Robb) book I have read is
her dystopian YEAR ONE. This is a stand-alone
thriller.
The Bodine Ranch and Resort are both run by a close knit family.
Bodine Longbow, the eldest daughter is the focus of the book and the COO of the
family enterprise. She is clearly drawn and multidimensional as is Callen
Skinner, a new hire and old acquaintance. Alice, Bodine’s aunt, who has been missing for
years is an integral part of the plot as is Sundown, a highly trained and intelligent
horse.
When young women start disappearing and then are found
murdered in the close vicinity of the ranch, the plot becomes apparent. There
are plenty of red herrings, plot twists, love interests and Ranch/Resort
complications to keep the reader interested in this 450 page novel. Roberts is a
master of the thriller/love story genre and it shows in this outing.
5 of 5 stars for a convincing thriller with likeable
characters, interesting locale and pleasing secondary plots.
