The plot involves overpowering parents, exhausting responsibilities among family members, murder, addiction, race rivalry, family/town tradition, love, sex and surprise. If these qualities peak your interest, read this book before it becomes a movie and then read it again after you see the movie. Your will not be disappointed.

Rating: Summary: One of my all time favorites! Review: "Carnal Innocence" is one of my favorite Nora Roberts books, and I devoured it in record time because I couldn't bear to put it down! Caroline Waverly is a famous concert violinist who has come to the quiet town of Innocence, Mississippi for some rest and relaxation. But a murderer is on the loose in this sleepy little town and the third victim's body is found in the pond behind Caroline's home. Caroline meets and is soon swept off her feet by Tucker Longstreet, a long-time resident of Innocence, who unfortunately is one of the prime suspects! The relationship between Caroline and Tucker continues to develop as the whole town remains on edge, looking for the brutal murderer who lives amongst them. There are several suspects, but the real murderer was a huge surprise to me. This book was a top-notch mystery and a lovely romance. NR manages to blend these two elements perfectly into one captivating story. This is a suspenseful and satisfying read and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Rating: Summary: Unexpected Delight Review: I've read many of Nora Roberts books and this one is an unexpected delight. The story is a romantic murder mystery where high class, wealthy violinist meets a Mississippi Delta rich Casanova. The hero in this story is unassuming, old money wealthy, Southern boy suspected of murdering his past flings. Roberts maintains the mystery of the actual killer thoughout the story without damaging the romance building between the hero & heroine. If you like Nora Roberts, add this to your must read list.
Rating: Summary: Beautifully Written Review: Innocence, Mississippi is a small town where nothing ever happens, until the mutilated bodys of women start to turn up. Caroline Waverly was a talented, worn out, concert violinist who needed to rest. Moving to her deceiced grandparents house seemed like a brilliant idea. The childhood memory was as endearing to her as it was terrifing to her demanding mother. When Caro discovered the horribly deformed body of a woman in the back pond her life is turned completly around. Tucker Longstreet was a smalltown man and inexplicably drawn to the small lovely Caro with the perfect grammer and impecable manners. His womanizing ways forbid him to leave her alone, so there was nothing to do but chase after her. As the murders continue the two are drawn together in what could only be a summer fling. Right?
Rating: Summary: A who dun it with a dash of romance. Review: Someone in the sleepy little Mississippi town of Innocence is far from innocent. Women are turning up dead and that is just not healthy. Body number three has just shown up in the pond behind Caroline Waverly's home and she's wondering how much rest she is going to get in this little town off the beaten track. Caroline is a famous concert violinist and has come to stay in her grandmother's house when she realizes that still waters run deep and more goes on in this backwater town than meets the eye. She is swept off her feet by Tucker Longstreet, one of the town's favored sons, unfortunately he is one of the prime suspects. What is a girl to do? I thought I had it all figured out as I devoured the pages but was pleasantly surprised by the end when I was completely wrong. A good mystery to fill your summer days. Kelsana 7/6/01
Rating: Summary: Great Story But Too Much Swearing Review: As usual, I loved this Nora Roberts book. The characters were terrific..you could feel the sparks fly. But if you don't like the Lord's Name being used in vain...repeatedly, be careful. They weren't on every page but on some pages, they are used multiple times..Please Ms. Roberts..clean up the language some..Faithful readers don't need to hear His name in vain..Your books are Wonderful without it.
