The Collector: Book Sidekick (Unofficial)

WARNING: This is an unofficial reading Sidekick designed to heighten your enjoyment and understanding of The Collector by Nora Roberts. Do not buy this Sidekick until you first have a copy of the original work. BookBuddy is an independent web learning company with a mission to bring the joy of reading and insightful discussion of today's best novels to readers everywhere. As you read the original work, our Sidekick is the perfect complement, filled with all sorts of fun, insightful goodies to help you get the most out of the novel.

As you read The Collector, refer to our sidekick to ensure you are "collecting" all the enjoyment you can from the pages. Nora Roberts was the first ever member of the Romance Writers Hall of Fame, with over 200 romance titles under her belt. Our sidekick to her latest work walks you through what there is to like about the novel, including the addition of murder and intrigue into the author's usual story of romance. We also offer up a few suggestions for recommended reading from the same author, including Black Hills, another novel that combines a love story with a dead body or two.

Those facets mesh seamlessly in The Collector: the story of Lila, a housesitter and habitual voyeur. While peeping, she witnesses the initial stage of a murder-suicide, or so she thinks. Along with Ashton Archer, the brother of the murderer (victim?), she searches for the truth, and maybe finds love along the way. The intrigue runs deep, and our chapter-by-chapter analysis is the tool you need to sort it all out. We also touch upon the novel's major themes, including gluttony, which runs throughout the novel in the form of food and drink, possessions, and even murder. Our sidekick doesn't replace The Collector, it rides shotgun to help you gain a better understanding of this thrilling ride.
