Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts (briefly)

As I'm sitting down to write up this book, all I can really think is that I've done this. I've written a similar review about a Nora Roberts book. Don't get me wrong, Whiskey Beach is a perfectly fine book, but there's really not a lot of new things to say about it. To condense a 500 page book into a list of bullet points seems a bit silly, but here you go:

Whiskey Beach is/has:

• Exactly what you'd expect from Nora Roberts.
• Easy to read, with a touch of not-really-dramatic suspense. She doesn't hide who-done-it. As usual.
• Filled with likeable characters, mostly stereotypes. This one has the Lawyer whose heart wasn't in it (-in hindsight), the Earthy Yoga Mama, and the Police Detective Who Knows He's Right, Even if He Isn't.
• Good, readable, but not particularly memorable.
• The romance is better than in most Roberts stand-alones, and I particularly enjoyed Abra's honesty, but it wasn't one that had me sighing in happiness at the end. 
• Has a terrific cover.

And there ya go. I will, of course, continue to read Nora Roberts, but I admit a preference for her 3 and 4 book series to the stand alone titles.
