About The Mountains Bow Down: Everything's going to work out. Time away always makes things better . . ..

That's what FBI Special Agent Raleigh Harmon believes as she boards a cruise to Alaska . A land of mountains and gems and minerals, The Last Frontier is a dream destination for this forensic geologist who's hoping to leave behind a hectic work schedule and an engagement drained of romance.

But when a passenger goes missing and winds up dead, Raleigh 's vacation suddenly gets lost at sea. The ship's security chief tries to rule the death a suicide, but Raleigh 's forensics background points to a much darker conclusion: Somewhere onboard, a ruthless murderer walks free.

Engulfed by one of her toughest cases yet, Raleigh requests assistance from the FBI and receives her nemesis-perpetual ladies man Special Agent Jack Stephanson. As the cruise ship sails through the Inside Passage, Raleigh has five days to solve a high-profile murder, provide consultation for a movie filming onboard, and figure out her increasingly complicated feelings for Jack-who might not be such a jerk after all.

And that's only her work life. Family offers even more challenges. Joined on the cruise by her mother and aunt, Raleigh watches helplessly as disturbing rifts splinter her family.

Like the scenery that surrounds the cruise ship, Raleigh discovers a situation so steep and so complex that even the mountains might bow down


My Review of The Mountains Bow Down:

I have read all of the Raleigh Harmon novels and love them. The nice part about these books is that you don't have to read them all. The books help you catch up and know details from other books so there isn't a lost feeling while reading it. The Mountains Bow Down will not disappoint. We are with Raleigh again but this time on a "vacation". She is on a cruise with her mother, her Aunt, and a friend of the Aunt. Raleigh, her Aunt, and her Aunts Friend are working with a movie crew on the cruise. A murder happens that is tied to this movie crew they are there helping and Raleilgh must now be FBI agent and daughter. Her mother doesn't know she is an agent so she has to keep the worlds seperate. Raleigh gets help from a former co worker and sparks fly. This book has suspense, murder, emotional turmoil, humor and romance. All these things make for an awesome book, that you can't put down. Book is very well written, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat and then laughing. Sibella's characters are very well researched and characters that you can relate to. The storylines are strong and do draw you in. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
