Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It was a typical evening
at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the
movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers
and children shopped together, and the manager at the video-game store
tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived.
The chaos and
carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down.
But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever. In
the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement
career. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of
huddling in a ladies’ room, helplessly clutching her cell phone—until
she finally found a way to pour the emotions of that night into her art.
But
one person wasn’t satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the
DownEast Mall. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and
rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in
wait—and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide.
Nora Roberts always spins a good yarn and this is no exception. No real surprises along the way or with the ending but I still enjoyed it.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read Nora Roberts in a long time. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting read!
ReplyDeleteEvery book Nora Roberts has written has a signature romance embedded in it. Reed and Simone are not Eve and Roarke but they will most definitely do.
