This was just ok for me. I thought the mystery was pretty predictable and the story could have been a good 100 pages shorter. Things just really dragged on until everything wrapped up very quickly and easily in the end. I also felt pretty ambivalent about the characters and the romance. Props to the author though for venturing into a new genre.
