Review: Good mystery,weak love story
Rating: 3 out of 5

The first third of the book flows very fast thanks to a quick pace and a witty style. But afterwards the narration becomes too slow and too wordy as Savannah's suspicions and theories are repeated and repeated. The reader's attention is lost in pointless descriptions of places, real estate's procedures and so on. Luckily, around the last third of the book, the story becomes more vivid as the mystery becomes deeper and more intriguing. Unfortunately,not as much can be said about the relationship between the main characters. The interaction between the two is very shallow and superficial. The supposed-to-be love story results more like an expedient to spice up the mystery's part than a thoroughly developed plot.  Savannah seems to have no idea of what she really wants in her life (especially in the love department), she's only preoccupied of what her family or friends think. Rafe is flirting with her but doesn't show any other real interest in her. She closely risks her life and he is nowhere to be seen for days and when they meet he doesn't mention anything about it or show any concern. I would have enjoyed having more romance there.
