Helpful Score: 4
This is the first time I have read this author and found her to be very enjoyable. She reminds me alot of Mary Higgins Clark: twists and turns, several possible characters yet the real killer is not one you would suspect, romantic love without being X-rated. Very enjoyable book!
Helpful Score: 2
Excellent book that is full of suspense. There were several references to what I presume was a previous book with these characters, which I had not read, but background information wasn't necessary to enjoy this story.
Fairly good suspense, however, it's about 50+ pages too long due to lots and lots of descriptions and lots and lots of background information on each person, some of it necessary for the story and some of it not needed, but it gets only 3 stars.
First off, I would not really consider this a "romance"- it's got a bit of romance in it, but it really is a mystery, which is why I read it. I like Mary Burton's plots, but I do think that she includes too much info about things that are not pertinent to the plot. I liked this book though.
What a thriller this was. Keeps you on your toes. I enjoyed it alot.
very good 'who done it' mystery
