I like a book that surprises me. A third of the way through, I thought I knew how the story was going to play out. I was partially right, but partially wrong, too. I'm glad the author didn't take the story to the obvious, easy solution.
This book was okay. But it also lacked an element of suspense. It was clear from the beginning who the murderer was and so the ending came as no surprise. The romance was ditto. The characters and their emotions had depth but they really had no story to work with. Not up to Theresa Charles when she's at her peak.
