text: The story did hold my interest and the end was a bit surprising. However I found the heroine quite unlikeable and was dismayed that she would buy a shabby bar and express no interest in making it any better. She told a customer with scorn that she did not serve frozen drinks or food. I could just feel the grime and smell the spilt beer on the carpet. I also found the church bit unbelievable. Not interested in any more of Janet Black.
