“Shelter in Place” by Nora Roberts

Author Nora Roberts has set a scene that is all too common in our country these days when a mall outside of Portland, Maine is the target of a mass shooting. The assailants begin to wreak havoc on what was supposed to be an ordinary summer evening spraying their hate into innocent, unsuspecting shoppers, diners and movie-goers. For those that survived the eight minute ordeal their lives would be irrevocably changed. Years later the effects of the DownEast shooting have guided some on their life’s path – one joined law enforcement, another dedicated herself into creating and another left unsatisfied with the outcome of that night’s events still seeks justice for the wrongs done thirteen years ago. “Shelter in Place” dragged me out of the reading rut I’ve been in this month. I was so invested with these characters and could not put this one down. Fans of crime/thriller (with a little romance tossed in for good measure) don’t miss out on this one. I’ve never read anything by Nora Roberts before but if anyone has a favorite title be sure to send it my way so I can add it to my TBR list.
