About this ebook

Come Sundown named as one of Whoopi Goldberg's "Favorite Summer Reads" on ABC's The View and one of NY Post's biggest blockbuster "Whizbang Books" of the summer.


A novel of suspense, family ties, and twisted passions from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Obsession...

The Bodine ranch and resort in western Montana is a family business, an idyllic spot for vacationers. A little over thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, it’s kept running by Bodine Longbow with the help of a large staff, including new hire Callen Skinner. There was another member of the family once: Bodine’s aunt, Alice, who ran off before Bodine was born. She never returned, and the Longbows don’t talk about her much. The younger ones, who never met her, quietly presume she’s dead. But she isn’t. She is not far away, part of a new family, one she never chose—and her mind has been shattered...

When a bartender leaves the resort late one night, and Bo and Cal discover her battered body in the snow, it’s the first sign that danger lurks in the mountains that surround them. The police suspect Cal, but Bo finds herself trusting him—and turning to him as another woman is murdered and the Longbows are stunned by Alice’s sudden reappearance. The twisted story she has to tell about the past—and the threat that follows in her wake—will test the bonds of this strong family, and thrust Bodine into a darkness she could never have imagined.

Ratings and reviews

This is Nora Roberts at her best. I cried and I laughed and I rooted for this family. It had suspense and this was one of the easiest reads ever because I couldn't put it down. Part were disturbing but told in an adult and classy way that let us feel the characters horrible life as a captive but didn't cross the line into too much info. If you never read another book by this author attest read this one

As ALWAYS, when you buy a "Nora" book (as we call them at my house! even my husband does!!), you KNOW it'll be an all night the 1st night read &, of course, another KEEPER! We live/travel in an RV..very little space!..but a "Nora" is NEVER gotten rid of..how can you read it over & over again if you give it away (& a "Nora" will NEVER grace a table at a Yard Sale here!) Buy it..GREAT STORY W/TWISTS YOU DON'T SEE COMING!! ANOTHER KEEPER. .RE~READ IT A WEEK LATER..YES! THAT GREAT!

Definitely a long book but the contents made for a quick read! Come Sundown kept me engaged, I forced myself to put it down at 2am.
