Review: fun read but not intriguing.

I'm giving this a three because the book does have the lovely prose Harper uses in all of her books. BUT.. I didn't connect with the characters as I usually do when I read Harpers work.  Mitch is a bumbling fool with a severe case of cranial rectitus, Owen seems like a nice man but for the entire book I couldn't see why he set his cap for for Mitch or why he let himself be used so thoroughly. Lewis, the 'bad guy' is a conceited ass but not at all charming or dashing so I don't understand the infatuation Mitch confuses for love or how he managed to get away with his dirty deed.Anyway, it's a fun read with lovely descriptions of the area but not something I'll treasure or reread.
