Summary
Now she's hiked this mountain all by herself. It was glorious, she thinks, as she peers through her binoculars at the Snake River churning below. And then she sees the man and woman on the opposite bank. Arguing. Fighting. Suddenly, he's on top of her, his hands around her throat....
Enjoying a moment of solitude a bit farther down the trail is a gruff loner named Brody. But by the time Reece reaches him and brings him to the scene, the pair is gone. And when authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they find nothing - no signs of struggle. No freshly turned earth. Not even a tire track.
No one in Angel's Fist seems to believe Reece. After all, she's a newcomer in town with a reputation for being jumpy and jittery - maybe even a little fragile. Maybe it's time to run again, to move on. But Reece knows there's a killer in Angel's Fist, even if Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep her at arm's length, is the only one willing to believe her.
When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody - and herself - to find out if there is a killer in Angel's Fist before it's too late.

Enjoyable cheese fest from Nora Roberts
I like Nora Roberts because she writes predictable cheesy stories that send me to sleep. Some I've really enjoyed, some I've given up on halfway through.
This is one of her best novels; the characters were more real and I like the descriptions of the small town and it's people. Reece was likeable, less 'damsel in distress' than normal, and I appreciated that the male character Brody, wasn't the usual two-dimensional alpha male charmer that Roberts normally describes.
The story was well paced and the ending exciting enough that I stayed up in order to listen to it.

Not one of my favourites!!
Interesting but lacking in pace and excitement.
Quite honestly, I got a bit bored with all the girly stuff. Only just managed to finish it. But wanted to hear the climax.
Others have said Nora’s books are a bit cheesy and I would have to agree. Don’t think I’ll buy another of her books.
Sorry!!

Disappointed
Started off well but not at all what I expected and far too long and meandering getting to the end.
Will not buy another book from this writer.

Good story, narrators a bit old?
the narrator did a good job, but she sounds like she's 40-50 and the character is like 26 so it ruined it for me. it just sounded wrong!? she also did an okay job at men's voices BUT the male protagonist didn't sound right for his personality. he's the broody type and that didn't come across. that's my only issue, I'd still recommend it as it's a good story. it was one of my favourites in my early 20s and I decided to try the audio version now that I'm in my 30s. I prefer the physical book!

Excellent Over and Over again
I have read and listened to this story many times and it is excellent in true Nora Roberts style that leaves you guessing until the end. The performance is great and when i read the book now I read it Joyce's voice. I love Joanie fantastic character.

A Romance that Surprises
As a dedicated reader of Historical Fiction, Thrillers & Fantasy, I rarely read a Romance Novel! Yet I absolutely loved this delightful story with a great dollop of mystery. The narration is faultless...every character with a distinctively interesting voice.
Loved spending time in a part of America I have not visited perfectly described by a masterful writer. Nora Roberts you have a new fan.

Great Nora Roberts book
Would you listen to Angels Fall again? Why?
Yes, I will listen to this book again. There was more character development in this book than in the majority of romances.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Of, Reece
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The "voices" used the narrator were often difficult to distinguish--- one gravelly voice for all men, some women.

Not Nora's Best
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this story because it will appeal to fans of romantic suspense
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Reece's past and the reasons she is on the run were the most interesting aspect of the story. The least interesting was the loose ends with the identity of the killer and what happened to him.
What three words best describe Joyce Bean’s voice?
Riveting, engaging and clear
Was Angels Fall worth the listening time?
Yes
Any additional comments?
This wasn’t the best by Nora Roberts in terms of her standard romantic suspense titles, but I did enjoy the story. I thought Reece was a likeable character and once I learned why she was so jittery and tense, I felt a lot of empathy for her. She came across as a very believable character, having experienced what she went through in her previous life and I thought she was very brave for taking charge of her life and trying new experiences, despite her anxiety. I liked Brody immediately and didn’t let his gruff exterior fool me. Reece’s boss, Joanie and coworker, Linda Gail were wonderful supporting characters. The story flowed well, but was a little predictable, especially when the killer started stalking Reece, trying to make her think she was going crazy. I guessed early on who the killer was, but enjoyed finding out why he did it at the end.
Overall, this was a good story and fans of Nora Roberts and romantic suspense stories will enjoy it, but may not be blown away by it.

Murder and Malice in the Grand Tetons
Good narration by Joyce Bean. No complaints. Her performance was excellent. This book was also made into a LIFETIME movie starring Heather Locklear, but I never saw it.
As for the story, it's a good thriller, but a fairly weak mystery. I guessed who murdered the woman immediately, but was never sure till nearly the end.
The thriller aspects were stronger. I really felt for the heroine as the killer tried to drive her into la-la-loco land. He was so malicious. Shudder.
As for romance, this one is laid back, matter-of-fact, and seemingly emotionless, compared to some love stories. Nonetheless, I quite liked Brody's gradual transformation from grouchy, hard-edged journalist and mystery writer to protective, devoted -- but still slightly sarcastic -- lover.
I liked seeing the heroine come into her own, and fight her way back to serenity.
Good pacing. Good dialogue. Good secondary characters, especially Joanie. Good entertainment.
I wish Roberts would leave out the religious profanity. Bugs me.

One of my all time favorite audio books!
I go back to this one time and time again. A strong heroine that thinks she's broken. A hero that believes in her. It's the dialogue that makes them real.

Easy listening!
I look forward to Nora Robert's strong female characters and the men they fall in love with. A little predictable, but good easy listening. Angel's Fall is another good recipe with a good story line and that good bit of a twist and excitement to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Another Nora Robert's winner with a good narrator in Joyce Bean bringing the characters to life.

3.5 stars. Enjoyable.
I read the physical book several years ago and thought it was good - 4 ½ stars. But I changed my mind when I recently listened to the audiobook. The middle dragged too much. Maybe because I knew the ending and who the bad guy was, but I was tired of Reese being oblivious to all the things being done to her by the bad guy - trying to make her lose her mind. Although she did some interesting things, too much time was spent with her being a helpless victim.
The story is about a talented woman chef who was the only survivor of a gunshot massacre. She moves away, is in the process of healing, and witnesses another murder. It’s a good murder mystery. The story also has an interesting romance developing between the chef and a writer who helps her. I enjoyed reading about these two characters. I also enjoyed a supporting character, Joanie, owner of the diner. There were some good lines. I'm extracting parts of them here briefly, but they are better within the context of the story. Page 211, after he said her eyes looked tired, she thought "He would always be brutally honest with her. Tough as it might be on the ego, it was better than platitudes and soft lies." Page 266 "a man puts his hands around a woman's throat once, he could do it again." Page 279 "what selfishness you have seems awfully healthy from where I stand."
AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR:
Joyce Bean was fine, although her voice for men was a little weird.
Narrative mode: 3rd person.
Genre: romantic mystery.

Angels Fail
Awful.
Whiny wounded heroine witnesses event. Then several (audiobook) hours of stalkerish/gaslighting pranks alternating with "OMG! Am I crazy! I'm not crazy! I swear!" Then big confrontation with baddie who was obvious about halfway through the book, and *wham* book is over. No reactions/responses from anyone other than the hero and heroine.
Seriously. Bad.

Excellent narration, story gets a little lost
I enjoyed listening to Joyce Bean narrate so much so that I looked up other titles she has performed. Angels Fall is a good story, but it gets a little lost in the lengthy descriptions of all the main character's issues (paranoia, OCD etc.). The ending is not unexpected, but it is confusing. I'm still not quite sure how it all panned out. Usually Nora Roberts is much more on point with descriptive storylines, but I feel this story fell a little short.
