Blue Dahlia by Nora Roberts

Whilst I did enjoy Blue Dahlia by Nora Roberts as a wind down at the end of the day, I did find it rather predictable.

I found myself skipping through paragraphs of text to cut to the story as I wanted to read it. 

Having said that it has all the elements of a good romance (and some politely written naughty bits!), was very easy to read and served its purpose in helping me to relax at the end of the day.

The premise is interesting in that Stella and her two children relocate to live near her father and step mother after losing her husband Kevin in a plane crash.

She applies for and gets a job at a nursery and living accommodation with the owner Roz.  Everything works out well until she meets Kitridge, the hunky landscape gardner. 

Why?  Because the extra story within the book is the ghost who haunts the house, who is very protective of Stella’s children, but doesn’t like the budding romance.

The hunt is then on to find out the ghosts identity.

I do normally like Nora’s books and I have to say that my all time favourite ones of hers are the Three Sisters Island Trilogy.  I couldn’t wait to get my hands on each of those books!

A four-year-old was heard praying,

"And forgive us our trash baskets

as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
