Blue Smoke by Nora Roberts (2006, Paperback, Reprint)

Nora Roberts is a writer who devotes a lot of time to the details that make each story stand out as unique and different. She has an amazing ability to get into the mind of the bad guys and weave a mystery, always with a twist that keeps you guessing!

I especially enjoyed the detail that set the scene of family and neighborhood and made all the characters and places easy to picture in your mind. I literally didn't put this book down except to go to work! I read this in three evenings! It made me hungry for Italian food and the night I finished the book, my husband was so surprised when I asked him to meet me at our favorite pizza place after work.
