Shelter in Place
by Nora Roberts
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Deputy Barney Stars
After listening to one of Nora Roberts books the other week, a few more came up in the U.S Audible sale, so I may....or may not have bought a few more to listen to ...ummm 4 more!!
I've decided that I really like her writing style, and the fact that January LaVoy was narrating it made it even more of a one click for me, Ms LaVoy has been bumped up to my on-click narrator list!
On a normal evening in Portland Maine, Simone is waiting with her two friends to watch a movie in the Down-East Mall, while her mother and her sister do a little bit of retail therapy while waiting for the movie to finish.
That evening will be one that they will ALL never forget.
While waiting for the movie to start Simone decides to visit the bathroom.
Thinking that the movie is really loud as she already hear the gunshots, the moment she opens the bathroom door, she realises that this is not a movie!
For 8 minutes the lives of the people in that Mall was pure terror, the death toll that day was pure heartbreak.
The story then jumps forward 20 years or so and we find out what happened to a select few of the people who were there that fateful day.
I absolutely loved this story, Roberts captured the characters so well, Simone and her grandmother CiCi were just fab (I wish that I had a grandmother like that)
I love Reed and the way that he took such a sad tragedy and made a future for himself as a cop, and I love the fact that the person that helped him do that was Essie.
And then we get to the meat of the story, someone isn't happy about the way that the shooting went down, there were survivors after all, and that should have never happened, perhaps they should finish the job!
An absolute page turned (even though i listened to it) that i couldn't put down, and I'm going to slowly make my way through Ms Roberts back catalogue!
🎧🎧 - narrated by January LaVoy, who I mentioned before is firm becoming a favourite narrator of mine, I picked this up because of her, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Fantastic narration, and a great story.
Grab this little page turner and strap yourself in!
