Laine Tavish (not her real name) owns an antique/collectible shop called Remember When. She changed her name to escape her past and her father's reputation. Her Uncle Willy shows up one day out of the blue after nearly twenty years and ends up dead on her doorstep. Then her house is burglarized and vandalized. It has to be connected. How could it not be? Max Cannon, an insurance investigator and ex cop, arrives in Angel's Gap on the trail of Big Jack O'Hara's latest and largest scam. The attraction is immediate and mutual between Laine & Max, in a typical Nora Roberts way. Max and Laine thwart the criminal who masterminded the diamond heist and murdered one of the four participants. Fast forward fifty years and detective Eve Dallas is called upon to solve the murder of the housesitter for Laine & Max's granddaughter who has recently published a book about the heist and her grandmother's role in it. Needless to say Dallas solves the crime and others with the help of hubby Roarke. I have a bit of a problem with J. D. Robb books, set in 2056, but this was a captivating read. I liked Part 1 better than Part 2, but on the whole this was a page-turner.
