OK my apologies to the author as I didn't finish the book and the second 1/2 could well have taken off and improved.My thoughts on the book were as follows - Like J R Rain light.  The author was writing in the style of but doesn't quite bring it off (I love the Samantha Moon books)- this felt a little stilted and above all lacked 'heart'.  Samantha Moon always makes me feel emotionally engaged and empathetic, this didn't and thus I didn't feel compelled to finish it.  Ultimately I opened it one evening and thought, I don't think I can be bothered finishing this.So I am giving it 3.25 stars as it is engaging enough as a UF/ mystery but up until the point I reached, it didnt have the magical balance of character/plot and emotion that would take it beyond being an average read.
