I could not finish this book. I chose it because I'd read a different book by this author and thought it was pretty good. I liked the premise, but I got halfway through it and simply had to quit reading.

The hero is rather selfishly bull-headed, (he constantly interrupts the heroine and is always "telling" her what she wants) and the heroine is one of the most annoying characters I've ever run across. She's whiny and weak one minute, and then a complete know-it-all in the next. The idea that the heroine would be willing to give up everything and move from England to Colorado after knowing the hero for less than a week is utterly ridiculous.

I started thinking that the story should be about over, and realized I was only half-way through. The author hadn't really even touched much on the identity of the murderer, and I was already bored with the entire thing. It was far too long, and I just didn't care enough about any of the characters to keep reading.
