Review: Heavy on romantic tension; light on logic

First off, if you don't like a heavy dose of romance/romantic tension with your mysteries, stay clear of this one.  This wasn't a bad story, per se, but the character development seemed...lacking.  The main character is a music teacher, yet she hardly ever seems to be at school nor does the selection of music teacher seem to make sense given that the author never addresses the "musical" side to her personality.  The decision to make several of the key characters Chinese is also an odd side-note given the spellings of their names and the lack of any cultural relevance.  (Not wanting to give any spoilers, so these points may seem vague!)And the ending!  I actually thought I was missing part of the download.  It felt like an "I ran out of steam" ending, but I think it was intended to carry tension into the next book...which I won't be purchasing.  For 99 cents, I wasn't ripped off, but I wasn't wowed either.
