Summary
From Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller Shelter in Place (June 2018)—a powerful tale of heart, heroism...and propulsive suspense.

It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived.

The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever. In the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement career. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of huddling in a ladies' room, helplessly clutching her cell phone--until she finally found a way to pour her emotions into her art.

But one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait--and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide.

Profile Avatar Kim S. Oct 2018

Best book I have read/listened to in a really long time. I actually had to go and buy it in hard copy as well so that I can read it again one day. I highly recommend this one. I really enjoyed the narration. I am looking for other books with the same narrator now.

Profile Avatar Stephen W. Jan 2026

Another brilliant book by Nora Roberts. I’m never disappointed by her books if I’m completely honest I haven’t read one yet that I haven’t liked.

Profile Avatar lilmissjemrio May 2025

Great story, even if a bit long-winded sometimes.

Gripping storyline. Wonderful narration. Binge listened all night!!

Profile Avatar Princez Tia Dec 2024

This was my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed it.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2024

Very good book. Good development of the characters. Definitely held my attention.

Profile Avatar Marcel L. Oct 2024

Absolutely brilliant - probably one of my best reads ever! The character development was such that you simply have to fall in love with them all, because the main characters feel like people you'd want in your life (including Barney, the dog), whereas the baddy will put terror into any sane person's heart. All of this was encompassed by truly superb narration.

Profile Avatar Joanne M. Oct 2024

This is a well written story - is quite long but I still enjoyed the story line. Narrator was an easy listen.

Profile Avatar Val B. Oct 2024

I wanted to give it a 4.5 but didn’t know how, lol. It was a good read. A few things predictable a few not. Really kept my attention and helped me through a long drive from Virginia to Ohio.

Profile Avatar saxon54 Oct 2024

Edge of the seat writing. No less than what I've come to expect from Nora Roberts. Excellent plot with good tension and a little romance and well placed humor. Narrator convincingly voiced many characters and infused them with the appropriate emotions.

Profile Avatar Stephanie G. Jul 2021

I loved this book! I feel like I say this about all of Nora Roberts books, but it's so true! This story grabbed me from the beginning, and I listened to it completely in less than 2 days, listening ever chance I could get. I love January as a narrator, she is excellent!! An absolutely gripping story.

Profile Avatar Carmel S. Oct 2020

This is a gripping story that grabs your attention from the first page and never lets up. This suspenseful story has wonderful, well-developed characters that you really end up caring about. The story moves quickly. It mostly takes place on Tranquility Island, a real island off the coast of Maine. The story deals with a group of people who all survived a horrific mass shooting in a mall, and Roberts does an excellent job of portraying the terror of that event and the long-lasting effects it can have. This is one of those books you can't stop listening to, with a fast-moving, good vs. evil plot and a bit of romance. The narrator does an excellent job with the different voices. Highly, highly recommended.

Profile Avatar Vicki B. Jul 2020
