Review: Not really likeable heroine
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 10, 2014
Alexandra, the hometown librarian, and Duncan, the visiting professor, meet in the library.  Duncan makes repeated inappropriate sexual comments whenever he sees her and she rebuffs him a few times, but then she decides she wants sex with him, no going to dinner required. Then at 75 percent into the book, after having sex for weeks, Alex is mad because she doesn't really know him.  Turns out she doesn't really know her cousin Gillian and Gillian's husband, either, even though she's supposed to be smart.  She's not a particularly likeable character, and Duncan doesn't exactly have sterling qualities, either.I agree with other reviewers that the more interesting couple in the book is Gillian and Tom, maybe because they actually get to know and understand each other.The mystery of where the painting is to be found is not too hard to figure out, but details on how everything is resolved is sadly minimized.
