This is a pretty predictable mystery. It’s not too difficult to guess the twists, but there’s enough suspense that I wanted to keep reading to see if my guesses were correct. Some of the dialog is a little hokey and the romance is blatantly contrived.

Lucinda Gainey’s performance was satisfactory. She attempted to give characters distinctive voices, although I would have appreciated a bit more distinction in some cases. Also, her accents seemed a bit forced and inconsistent and I heard at least one mispronunciation.

Despite these distractions, I hope to have the opportunity to review the next book in this series.
