Summary: 3 Stars
I've read many Nora Roberts books and "High Noon" was another book with the Nora Roberts "hook"...hooks that grab your attention in the first paragraph and usually hold your attention captive. This book seemed to have a lot of characters but without depth or much background. I started wondering if one of the "good" guys was really the criminal in question. It just didn't make sense to me that Walken would be introduced somewhere waaaay down the line with little background. Added to that, one thing I really dislike about most of these books are the abrupt endings. Once the catastrophe is averted, the story usually winds up without any follow-up as to the main characters. My favorites would have to be the Chesapeake Bay series and the Irish Trilogies becasue they did continue on with more storyline and actually left me very sad to end the saga. Please, more books that continue.....Book Review: Took Too Long To Finish
Summary: 2 Stars
I started this book last winter, and read some of it, then put it away as I just could not get into it! I just finished, and agree that the police terminology is hard to follow. The story jumps around too much - would not even make a good Lifetime movie. It is hard to believe that this is a Nora Roberts Novel.Book Review: Why High Noon?
Summary: 5 Stars
High Noon by Nora Roberts It is a mystery, action and a love story and it is also a bestseller. The main Character is Phoebe McNamara. It tells about Phoebe's childhood and the life she and her brother had with their mother when they were young, it also tell about her life and her romances. Phoebe was an FBI agent, and later became a lieutenant and a negotiator in a local precinct in her home town. Phoebe found her calling at an early age, when her mother's boyfriend trapped and terrorized them for hours. She was only seven when this happen, she tried talking to her mother's boyfriend and negotiates with him, so he can let them go. She enjoys her job as a negotiator. It's satisfying work for Phoebe and sometimes those skills come in handy at home when she deals with her agoraphobic mother. She met the handsome millionaire Duncan Swift while talking one of his employees off a roof ledge. I think that it was love at first sight when Phoebe walked into the room. Duncan could not take his eyes away from her. Phoebe had twenty five cops in a training session. There was one cop who could not stand Phoebe being in charge because she was a woman. The officer name was Arnold Meeks. Officer Meeks disrespected Phoebe. After this incident it was clear that someone was stoking Phoebe, so her intension was to find out who was stoking her. This novel is easy to follow because there is something interesting going on every page. Duncan Swift seems like such a romantic person. I loved the way he would talk to her, so soft and gentle. I enjoyed reading Nora Roberts's books because there are always romances and a gripping thriller that will have you guessing from start to finish. It is so true about Nora Roberts; she always has a mesmerizing and intriguing tale to write.
