The Search by Nora Roberts

3.0

This started good, dragged in the middle and then picked up in the last quarter. I felt it took way too long for the serial killer side of the plot to really get going. I understand the author probably wanted to time to develop the romance and i think maybe i would have enjoyed that more if the romance was more interesting for me. I just didn’t particularly find their relationship dynamic that interesting but think it would appeal to other readers as it felt true to their characters from what i could see.
Also i get that Fiona has lots of friends, is well liked on the island and well protected by the cops and the FBI but i dont think i need to read every supportive conversation she has with all the above entities.
The serial killers perspective was interesting which is why i enjoyed the last quarter because thats when we get a lot more of his perspective.

Slight spoiler:
I found the final confrontation a bit unbelievable given everyone knows Fiona’s the target of this guy and the overprotective, bossy side her love interest has shown throughout the rest of the book, but im glad she got her closure.
Also my god did i hate that reporter!
