I generally love the writing style of this author (Sandra Brown). If I usually give her a 4-star rating, I would give this book a 2-star. Mystery/suspense novels should, in my opinion, concentrate on the mystery and puzzle-pieces of the story. Include a good number of twists and turns that make you not want to put the book down. What this novel lacked in twists it tried to make up for with a sub-storyline that didn't belong: the "romance" between two of the main characters. It seemed out of place and forced; a way to allow the author to add some titillating romance aspects to the story. A good mystery doesn't need such affectations, and I think this novel suffered because of it.
