This novel kept me reasonably pleasantly occupied for today. A light weight plot and quite predictable, but this did not detract from the overall fast pace and mystery behind the delivery of dead, red roses. The heroine was a little silly - as heroines are in romance novels, and I got a bit sick of her shenanigans. The perpetrator was not expected; I thought it was another, more obvious person - but the author stymied me there. I did think the author could have given more explanation as to who the perp was earlier on. The writing was a little naive in style, but the author obviously knows police culture.The background of alcoholism was well handled and not overdone.
