Under Currents

A reread, since apparently I'm getting into “horrific events treated gently and kindly” at the moment. This lives up to the rest of Roberts' novels. I think my only quibble was with the concept of every bad guy coming out of the woodwork in the span of a couple months, just to throw themselves upon the barricades and get hauled to jail. I know that's just the nature of a story, but it was right there at the edge of my suspension of disbelief. The characters, though, are believable and a delight, as always.

Her thrillers are just very hit or miss for me. This one felt a bit too all over the place with the only cohesive theme to the plot lines being domestic violence. Just not for me.

I'm glad I listened to this book rather than read it. When I thought it was over, it wasn't and it kept me from looking too far ahead and guessing so I was more surprised. If I read the book I would have known it wasn't over and would have been guessing regarding the next parts of the story. As with any Nora Roberts book, I liked it. Nothing deep. I call these cotton candy books and it did the trick!
