This was the first book I can remember reading by this author and it was an nice and easy read. The characters weren't too complex, but not too shallow either. The story-line had some laughs and a decent plot which will keep you reading. Will probably look for the rest of the series, since I've noticed it's a trilogy, but it's not high on my must read list.

The beginning of the story, when two people are pretending to be who and what they are not, is quite well done. As the story resolves itself, and good wins out after all, the reader will most likely come away from the book with a satisfied feeling. This is an author whose other books I'll have to read.
