First of all, I love murder mysteries. We need more of them in this genre. The mystery in this took a backseat to the romance, but it was still a good novel about a detective investigating clues and trying to nab a murderer.The romance was really good. I loved Tony and Jack -- especially Tony, with his off-the-wall humor, his big Italian family constantly intruding into his life, and his crass friend on the police force. Jack is a bit more serious, dealing with issues caused by his time in the war and the injuries that ended his life as a surgeon. But the two are well-matched and it was especially nice to discover that Jack wasn't helpless in a fight, when the chips were down.The ending is happy and sweet, but what really did it for me was the epilogue with Tony's family. It brought a tear to my eye. :-)
