I can see merit in some of the critical reviews. There are rather faulty aspects of the book with regard to character development, logic, and plot. Nevertheless, I found this to be a rather enjoyable light mystery which could have been considerably better. A Hollywood star calls upon an old school chum she has not seen for more than fifteen years. She is having a major problem with a stalker and fears for her life. The friend, our heroine,  responds to the call and not only finds that there are, indeed, problems, but that some significant ones tend to be hers not the friends. Naturally, our heroine falls in love and stumbles into danger, The author has some difficulty making the plot jell and reconciling the behavioral characteristics of the heroine with each other (is it really possible that an experienced and skillful nature photographer would fall asleep on the job). If you are the kind of reader who is serious about faults in the outcome of an authors efforts, you are likely to be too distressed to enjoy reading the book; if you are tolerant of particular faults and judge by the overall appeal, you might well find this a good, relatively inexpensive, read.
