Review: The Collector

 


Title: The Collector

Author: Nora Roberts

Genre: Mystery, Romance

Published: April 15, 2014

This book is Nora Robert's version of Rear Window. Lila Emerson saw a woman being pushed out a window. The woman's boyfriend had been shot. His brother Ashton Archer recruited Lila to find out what really happened.

I really like her work. It is always a fast read. Doesn't matter how many pages I manage to finish it within a few days. I want to say she just gets better and better as an other, but I haven't read everything, so I'm not sure I am qualified to judge.

I had one major problem with the story. I honestly don't think a killer would leave things in the hands of luck as much as this one does. There are moments where things should have been planned more thoroughly.

I thought the characters were fantastic. Even the people I disliked I could see where their personalities fit in the story. I would have appreciated a family tree for Ash though. He talked about having made one and really I think it would have helped to be able to see. There was also a couple of times I would have liked to see a picture of what she was talking about, but I did enjoy the story.

Overall I gave this book 5 stars out of 5.
