I don’t read a lot of mysteries, so this was a bit of a departure for me. But I was pleasantly surprised. The author does a great job developing the characters and the relationships, which is always my favorite part in any book I read. Even when I read spy thrillers, I have to have an emotional connection with the characters or I don’t care what happens to them.  Adair does a great job establishing that connection. There was plenty of romance with lots of anticipation (the best part in my opinion), but no excess description of sexual acts or body parts. Steam without the slut.I thought the violence was well portrayed. It was horrible, but never gory. Adair allows you to recognize the antogonist’s twisted mind without having to personally witness his sick and demented acts.All in all, I thought it was a fun read. The suspense is just right, but not enough to cause nightmares. And I was left with a real affection for the characters so that I hope to read about them again in the next book.
