Publisher's Summary

From Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller Shelter in Place (June 2018) - a powerful tale of heart, heroism...and propulsive suspense.

It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived.

The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever. In the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement career. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of huddling in a ladies' room, helplessly clutching her cell phone - until she finally found a way to pour her emotions into her art.

But one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait - and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide.

Story is ok, performance good.

But I was drifting off listening to this one as it wasn’t holding my interest. Characters are nauseatingly perfect, not my cup of tea.

Well paced

Another great story from Mora Roberts. Well paced with just the right balance of mystery, drama and romance. The references to alcohol were a bit too frequent for me. Distracting really. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A very enjoyable book. It was an interesting plot with some very likeable characters. For me the only downside was the insufferable CC. But really good overall 😊

So perfectly unreasonable - goodie two shoes stuff

Nora Roberts has developed a formula in her writing - a very black and white good and bad - walking into money and living a perfect American Dream - no more please

Intrigue, suspense, humour and romance

Nora Roberts continues to amaze me with the depth and variety of her writing skills. This book held me from start to finish. The pyscho killer, teenage survivors, the beloved Barney and amazing CC.
