Publisher's summary

Reece Gilmore has come a long way to see the stunning view below her. As the sole survivor of a brutal crime back East, she has been on the run, desperately fighting the nightmares and panic attacks that haunt her. She settles in Angel's Fist, Wyoming - temporarily, at least - and takes a job at a local diner.

Now she's hiked this mountain all by herself. It was glorious, she thinks, as she peers through her binoculars at the Snake River churning below. And then she sees the man and woman on the opposite bank. Arguing. Fighting. Suddenly, he's on top of her, his hands around her throat....

Enjoying a moment of solitude a bit farther down the trail is a gruff loner named Brody. But by the time Reece reaches him and brings him to the scene, the pair is gone. And when authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they find nothing - no signs of struggle. No freshly turned earth. Not even a tire track.

No one in Angel's Fist seems to believe Reece. After all, she's a newcomer in town with a reputation for being jumpy and jittery - maybe even a little fragile. Maybe it's time to run again, to move on. But Reece knows there's a killer in Angel's Fist, even if Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep her at arm's length, is the only one willing to believe her.

When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody - and herself - to find out if there is a killer in Angel's Fist before it's too late.

Crazy PTSD, but great heroine!

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun and entertaining, and I found myself still listening even after I got home! The heroine has severe anxiety, but she has a right to be, and is strong enough to push through it and stand by her convictions, plus her counterpart was pretty entertaining and relatable, not some unattainable fantasy. Narration was great too, and I was hooked on the whole story from beginning to end!

Better than the movie

The story was good, I actually saw the movie but the book was so much better. I loved the characters and the storyline kept you interested. The reader was perfect

Entertaining

Although a bit predictable, and some places where characters didn't use common sense, overall this was a good listen. I chose a rainy two days during the COVID-19 pandemic to listen to this. Oh, and it was also 3 days prior to General Election (go Blue!), so it was a good listen to take my mind off all the worries of the day. NR's books seem to be hit or miss for me. There's no in between. The storyline was a hit, but the characters were kind of a miss. I did like the Mecklenburg reference, having lived outside Shepherdstown. Perhaps there were other hidden gems, but I didn't catch them. Maybe if Brodie and Reese had been more endearing, I would have given five stars across the board...

Great story

Great story line, similar to Nora Roberts'
" Witness". I liked witness slightly better, but this was still a excellent Read/ listen, and I'm sure I will be rereading it again soon.

Great story!

Good narrator and story line. Just don’t like all of the swearing in the book. It was a good mystery. The narrator was good too. One of my favorites of Nora Roberts.

Awesome story

This was one hell of a thriller and mystery because I had a flicker of a thought that maybe the sheriff was the culprit, but I didn’t give it a second thought and I kept on listening to the story but I did like the way it ended so I’m happy
