No doubt the reaction of the reader to this book will depend upon how its heroine strikes him/her. Some  may see her as  overbearing, self-righteous and self-deceptive; others as a woman  who takes a back seat to nobody and is willing to face down any opposition to what she knows to be right.The book is, as the author points out is true of all her books, a romance with trappings. In this case, the  trappings are a mystery which barely  qualifies as such, and a family drama which is rather more interesting than the mystery. Of course, the interrelationships of the heroine with the police and the others with whom she comes into contact is pure fantasy in terms of their reality, while her relationship with one special police officer is romantic.The author writes well and does a good job of creating a core of credible central characters. If the relative emphasis given the romantic and familial as opposed to mystery is acceptable, and if you take to the heroine's characteristic, you may have quite a good time with the book.
