c8bt4 Tribute - Nora Roberts
Woman goes to refurb the house her grandmother - a Hollywood star - used to live in, and of course when you clear closets you find skeletons. Add a graphic novelist neighbour to the mix and you have another typical Nora book. At least with Nora there's usually a few twists along the way, and the writing is of a decent standard. A pity her editor and type-setter let her down in one or two places (A color pallet? really? The American spelling of colour is no problem, as Ms Roberts is American, but confusion of the homophone really jarred, and this is just one example)
