The Witness

Product Information

I also mostly like novels or romances set in small nice places or towns. Stories including tales about local people, about sweet old ladies, nice old friends, a odd secretary, a lovely mom, some adorable cute dogs (like Big Bert and Sunny's new puppy - a gift from her thoughtful son), etc etc. Writing more than 20 novels for Silhouette, she was encouraged to begin writing under a pseudonym, J.D. Robb, to allow her new publisher, Putnam Publishing, to publish more of her work each year. Writing under the J.D. Robb handle, she began writing romantic suspense novels, the first being published in 1995. Also under the J.D. Robb pseudonym, she began work on her most influential wring, what would become known as the “ In Death ” series. This book is for fans of quirky, independent women. It is for us geeks and smarties, for fans of sex-positive female characters. It is for lovers of romantic suspense that isn't overly dramatic.

She is totally not interested in starting a relationship with the cop. Which, coincidentally, makes her more attractive to him. Brooks, the hero, is not delved into as deeply as Abigail was, but he was much easier to love. He’s amusing and charming and he does a wonderful job of loosening Abigail up. I thought it was cute that we first met him when he was sitting in the town’s café, positioned specifically to be able to see Abigail on the off chance that she would come to town to shop that day. He was interested in her, both as a cop and as a man, and he finally decided to take a chance and go chat her up, despite her ‘Leave me alone’ vibe. He was shot down, and he was shot down hard, but I’ve got to give him props for determination. He just kept bugging her, trying to charm her, until he eventually grew on her. Like mold. :P I loved this book so much. No one can write suspense and romance together like Nora Roberts. You will fall in love with Elizabeth/Abigail and Brooks. And also with Brook’s family. This book will make you sigh, smile and also grip the arms of your chair a little tighter. It was simply a wonderful book. I hope you’ll give it a try. Elizabeth and her mother have argued for the first time. After Dr. Fitch leaves for a medical convention, Elizabeth goes to a mall for the first time, shops, and runs into a girl she once knew in school. They come up with a plan for a crazy night out, using false ID’s, going to a club and hoping to meet cute guys. But, this night does not turn out the way it was supposed to. Elizabeth is a witness to a horrible crime. She is taken into protective custody but through another equally horrible set of circumstances, she is forced to run on her own. yes because every now and then, Nora Roberts produces an excellent one - but this was not one of them, in my view

The first part with teenage Elizabeth isn't that long and the main storyline starts the day Abigail meets Brooks. Like Jane, I don’t think Abigail had Asbergers. She was socially awkward and liked routine because of her trauma and childhood environment, not genetics. There was something endearing about Abigail trying to decide if something was a joke or not. She is a very likeable character.

Brooks me ha gustado mucho, un señor, un hombre tan tan tan paciente que es justo lo que Abigail necesita. There was one other character who played a major role in the book and I feel is worth a mention, Abigail’s dog Bert. He was as much a part of the story as Brooks and Abigail, and I found myself looking forward to the parts of the book where he was present. The Witness” has vividly drawn and fleshed-out characters, wonderful descriptions, fantastic secondary characters, and a secondary plot that is as fascinating as the main story. I loved watching Abigail grow, but I appreciated the fact that Ms. Roberts did not change Abigail too much and turn her into someone she wasn’t meant to be. A young woman in hiding from the Russian mob faces a difficult decision when she falls in love with a cop. Romantic suspense is usually based around a mystery and has thriller aspects to the storyline. Such as in “The Witness” by renowned author Nora Roberts, the main character is an elusive member of her community that poses a great mystery to the town. “Half Empty” (First Wives Book 2) by Catherine Bybee is another suspense romance that gives readers more than just a love story, but a crime story as well. These novels are both intriguing and captivating for their audiences and offer a multi-faceted storyline with romance as the base.

Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson in Silver Spring, Maryland in 1950. She was raised Irish Catholic, and attended Catholic School until her sophomore year, when she transferred to Montgomery Blair Public High School, from which she graduated in 1968. Having no formal training as a writer, and no tertiary education, she also never wrote for pleasure throughout school, though she has described herself as being a wonderful storyteller, and inventing stories and fabrications, some of which are still believed by her mother today. Married for the first time in the summer of the same year, she settle in Keedysville, Maryland with her first husband, who worked at a family business. Still not writing, she spent most of her time caring for her two sons and doing crafts. Early Prose
