Identity: A Novel

Identity by Nora Roberts is an intriguing story. I thought the story was well-written with realistic, developed characters. I was quickly drawn into Morgan Albright's story. I felt bad for her. She let herself relax and enjoy an evening with a date. Morgan quickly came to regret it. I liked Morgan's mother and grandmother. Three generations of Albright woman living in one home. Morgan's mother and grandmother were strong, supportive women. There is plenty of drama to keep readers intrigued. I like that the author included chapters from the killer's point of view. It gave the reader insights into his sick mind. I liked the Jameson family and their establishment. They take care of their employees which inspires employee loyalty. The romance was a slow burn which suited this story. Morgan is not the type to rush into romance, especially after being hurt by Gavin. Miles and Morgan are perfect for each other. Of course, they cannot have their happily ever after until Gavin is caught. Gavin is intent on getting the woman who got away. The author combined intrigue, drama, suspense, and romance into one engaging story. I can tell the author did her research. I am amazed how much personal information on an individual a nefarious person can amass and then the havoc they can create out of a person's life. I did feel the story was a touch long (448 pages) plus there was repetition of key details along with a substantial amount of foul language (it was not needed). The ending will leave the reader smiling. Identity is a captivating tale with charming criminal, a murdered roommate, a purloined identity, coming home, the perfect position, a killer clue, and a shocking showdown.
