A review by gretchenlarson6
Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts

4.5

When I think of Nora Roberts, I think of nice, sweet stories. The ones I have picked up this month have been anything but. I suppose there were some nice and sweet parts to this book, but it began with something tragic and continued with a murder plot throughout. It reminded me of Jodi Picoult’s style at first.

I was completely captivated by the story the whole time I was reading it. It was a random purchase and one that’s been on my shelf for a while, and I’m glad I finally picked it up. I really liked to see the character growth throughout the story of the main characters, and even some of the less prominent side characters. If you would’ve told me that this book spanned a decade in years, I would’ve questioned how good it could possibly be. That being said, it was done really well, and despite the vast amount of time it covered, there was plenty of detail about each bit of time.

While reading, I simultaneously wanted this book to be over, because I wanted to know how it ended, and also never end because I enjoyed these characters so much!
