Montana Sky by Nora Roberts
3.0
I love romantic suspense stories and "Montana Sky" is a pretty good one. It's somewhat light on the romance (Many of the "bedroom scenes" are introduced and then cut off as soon as the first clothes are shed.) and heavy on the mystery.
Three sisters who are strangers to each other must spend a year working on their father's Montana ranch in order to receive their sizable inheritance. Complicating matters is the fact that a serial killer is on the loose and targeting the ranch.
Nora Roberts certainly knows how to create varied and interesting characters. The three sisters in "Montana Sky" are no different. My main problem with the book is that it took me a long time to get into it. The first half seemed very formulaic to me. However, about halfway through the book the murder mystery kicks into high gear and the characters become more developed. And just when you think you know whodunit, the writer throws some curves at you to keep you guessing. I was hooked by the second half, staying up until the wee hours trying to see how Ms. Roberts was going to work everything out. If you're a patient reader who likes suspense with a little romance thrown in, you'll like this one.
