2003-10-04 Some early magic from a favoured author

Nora Roberts has a gift that is rare and seemingly effortless. She has the ability to create atmosphere, characters and storylines which are immediate, enjoyable and enable the reader to get lost in the world she has so skillfully drawn. In "Mysterious", you will read three of her earlier novels, thankfully available to those of us who missed them the first time round. In "This Magic Moment" we meet an illusionist who captures the heart of Ryan, who learns to trust her heart and believe in the impossible. "Search for Love" tells the story of Serenity, a young woman searching for a way to reclaim her family in France's Brittany landscape, where she meets the cold, enigmatic Christophe. In "The Right Path" we are drawn into the intrigue surrounding a Greek island, smuggling and a handsome knife-wielding stranger. These are three short, but enjoyable reads and still sparkle with the magic only Nora can create.
