Nora Roberts (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1992

'A lot of people who find something like that a stone's throw from their house would just pull up stakes and take off'. Some people had skeletons in their closets; Maggie Fitzgerald had one in her yard. She's retreated from her fast-paced life, seeking peace and solitude in the country. So she's horrified when landscaper Cliff Delaney uncovers human bones buried deep beneath her perfectly tended garden. The discovery shatters Maggie's peace entirely. A cold-blooded killer is still on the loose, putting Maggie's life in terrible danger - and her rural idyll is rapidly becoming a nightmare.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Bit of Murder, Mayhem, Secrets and Romance, April 14, 2005

This review is from: Night Moves (Paperback)

NIGHT MOVES was one of Nora Roberts' earlier attempts at mystery and a good attempt it was! This story had me captivated from the first page and continued until the last. In fact, I was a bit depressed when I read the last page because I wanted the story to continue. Too bad this isn't a recent novel with 300+ pages!

Famous songwriter, Maggie Fitzgerald, buys a vacant house in a tiny town in Maryland, as far from the public eye as possible. Maggie's husband had died under mysterious circumstances before she purchased the house and Maggie was tired of always being in the public eye. She was tired of people wondering about her husband's death. She was tired of always being watched. She was just tired.

The house she bought had been vacant for many years and restoring it to its original state was taking more time and energy than Maggie had anticipated. She hired a local landscaping company and meets the owner, Cliff Delaney, who has more secrets than the house itself. And then the mystery begins. While landscaping, a body is unburied - not a transient's corpse but the body of the previous owner who everyone had thought only missing, not murdered.

As a stand-alone mystery this book would fall short as the story is somewhat predictable, and avid mystery readers will figure out the villain about half way through the book. But when you throw in the intrigue and romance, it rounds out to a very pleasurable book. If you're looking for an action packed mystery with lots of guessing as to the murderer, this is not the book for you. If you're looking for a book with a little bit of everything and a pleasant way to spend a few hours, you should get this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, April 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Night Moves (Silhouette Language of Love #7) (Paperback)

It was just a neglected old house in a sleepy small town, but widowed Maggie Fitzgerald knew she could call it home. And Cliff Delaney the landscaper she'd hired, was sexy enough to make evan the saddest woman smile. But then a body was uncovered on her land-and Cliff had a motive for the murder...
