Book Reviews of High Noon
Book Review: Glad to get a hold of this one!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say, I am a looooong time reader of Nora Roberts' work. For the last couple of years, her books have kind of taken a detour. Lots of those three in one books and some written in genres that I don't really care for. Not bad at all, just not my personal taste.
That said, I was sooo glad to get a hold of this newer book, High Noon. Nora really does an outstanding job mapping out her characters, making them vivid and helping the reader really get acquainted with them and the settings of her stories. Lieutennant Phoebe MacNamara and her family and friends as well as the villains of this story are shining examples of Nora's talent in this area. The plot was gripping, the mystery was riveting, and the romance provided just the right balance for such a colorful story. High Noon is my favorite class of Nora's writing although she's done amazing, amazing work from all kinds of genres, plots, story lines throughout the year. I would highly recommend it to anyone, her fans or people that may not be familiar with her work. Well done!
Nora, thank you, since I have had my daughter back in 06, this is the first book I have been able to "eat" like I used to. Loved it, couldn't put it down, and I can't wait to see your next one! You are the reason I keep my eyes on the book aisle at the store, thanks for sharing your talents.
Summary of High Noon
Police Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara found her calling at an early age when an unstable man broke into her family's home, trapping and terrorizing them for hours. Now she's Savannah's top hostage negotiator, defusing powderkeg situations with a talent for knowing when to give in-and when to jump in and take action. It's satisfying work-and sometimes those skills come in handy at home dealing with her agoraphobic mother, still traumatized by the break-in after all these years, and her precocious seven-year-old, Carly.It's exactly that heady combination of steely courage and sensitivity that first attracts Duncan Swift to Phoebe. After observing her coax one of his employees down from a roof ledge, he is committed to keeping this intriguing, take-charge woman in his life. She's used to working solo, but Phoebe's discovering that no amount of negotiation can keep Duncan at arm's length.
And when she's grabbed by a man who throws a hood over her head and brutally assaults her-in her own precinct house-Phoebe can't help but be deeply shaken. Then threatening messages show up on her doorstep, and she's not just alarmed but frustrated. How do you go face-to-face with an opponent who refuses to look you in the eye?
Now, with Duncan backing her up every step of the way, she must establish contact with the faceless tormentor who is determined to make her a hostage to fear . . . before she becomes the final showdown.
