“There was fog on the lake. Light fingers of it tore like cotton in the breeze and muffled the sound of the boat’s motor. In the east the sky was struggling to light, and the silver sun glanced off the mist, hinting at rainbows.”

Sigh…Nora Roberts writes pure poetry!

“Magic exists.”

A wistful sigh, as I’m simply *charmed* by the first sentence.

Just doing a fun, casual study of Nora Roberts’ writing, reading all her books in chronological order: In 1992, at the time this book was published, I noticed a couple of changes: The Hero is no longer a smoker…the Villain is, but is (politically) aware that smoking is no longer part of a powerful or attractive image. Alzheimer’s is a disease that’s beginning to emerge as a topic of conversation.

I think there was a mistake made when printing this book: On page 48, the last sentence does not continue on page 49. And the first sentence on page 49 is a whole new scene. And it’s confusing: page 48’s setting up a scene and it just gets cut off.
It seems like a page or two just didn’t get printed.
And it’s such a crucial scene. It’s evident that it was building to the climax/revelation of the mystery.

Thoroughly entertaining! One book that should be made into a television event!
