I enjoyed this a lot. I liked the mystery, the suspense, the second-guessing. I liked that it was fairly romance heavy as well, without that seeming shoe-horned in or like it was taking over the plot. I feel like it probably didn’t need to be as long as it was, but that’s really my only complaint. Fun read.
