This book started on a positive note. Fun, light-hearted, engaging. Then I got to this sentence - "The fireman didn't seem the least bit phased by my little sex toy talk." Yes, that's right, not fazed, PHASED. Strike one. The story proceeded smoothly from there, interesting, with a little mystery thrown in. The characters are warm and believable. Then we get to the climax, where the quality of the writing starts to slip, and the BIG REVEAL, where in addition to silly, implausible explanations, a huge, glaring error ruins the whole thing. I enjoyed the book up to that point. Did no one proofread this? Not to give anything away, but an object can only be in one place at a time, not in possession of two different people, miles apart. So right up to the end, it's a pleasant breezy romp of a story with (major flub ignored) a satisfying ending.
