Review: An excellent novel that is well written and well structured

Besides being a great story, this book could be featured in a fiction writing class.  The characters are well defined and set up early in the story.  The story itself was well structured with frequent episodes of tension, humor and relaxation.  My notes show that after 14 percent of the book was read, nearly all the characters were well known to me.  The female protagonist versus the bad guys; a good guy that was a mystery, and maybe not that good; and many other characters woven in between.  Yes, a typical “chick” novel.  But what makes this one stand out is that the story was much better than most such novels.  The tensions built into the story were well done, even if the reader knew the outcome would be favorable.  This is a novel, not only for “chicks” but for guys (or girls?) that are plumbers or carpenters.  I especially liked the book because I was able to read it leisurely and put it down to refill my drink and grab more potato chips.  Yes, this is also nice book for people who are retired.  I read it in two sittings and regretted finishing it.
