Montana Sky by Nora Roberts

In life, Jack Mercy hadn't been a kind man. In death, he was no different. His daughter Willa expected to inherit his ranch, the place she'd put her heart and soul into. But at the reading of the will, she learns that her home has been given not just to her, but to two sisters she barely knows as well. And in order to inherit, they must all live on the ranch for a period of one year.

None of the three sisters are happy with the arrangement. And apparently, neither is someone else as deadly incidents begin occurring around them. Willa, Tess and Lila find themselves fighting for their lives alongside the men who have become part of the lives and their hearts.

Okay, I just want to start off with, I fell in love with the movie about five years before reading this, so I had prior knowledge to who the killer is, how everything turns out. You know, the whole 'mystery' part of the novel?

I have to say, the funniest part of reading this book was trying to figure out what was different between the book and the movie. Characters have different careers, events happen in a different order, more murders happen in a book, important events in one are downplayed in the other. I have to say, though, I loved the book about as much as I loved the movie.

 

Anyway, like all of her other books that I've read, Nora Roberts is an expert in the Mystery Romance category. She deserves a gold medal, or something. 

By the way, I'm watching the movie as I'm writing this review. :D
