This was my first novel by Elizabeth Adler, and I was very pleased in totality with this book, so I would not hesitate to pick up another Adler book in the future. The Title and the Cover were enough to pull anyone in, and I felt that she did a great job with character and story development. She also did a great job of not letting the romance overwhelm the mystery and suspense, which any mystery/suspense fan will love!

There were a great diverse set of characters, some that I couldn't help but love from our first meeting, and others that I couldn't stand from the first meeting, to a few that I had to learn to tolerate and grew to love by the end! You have Fin with all of her infinite wisdom, Vivi, the charismatic doctor, JC, the ever-so-dependent little sister, Alex, the intriguing intruder, Dr. Ralph, the older psychiatrist and colleague to Vivi, and Brad Merlin, the big, strapping detective.

The only thing that bugged me about the story, was the predictability of it. I had guessed very early on who the killer was, and knew with certainty, who the guilty party was a little over halfway through the book, with my predictions being right. However, even though I was able to predict WHO the killer was, I was surprised at the actions of the killer, as well as the reactions of the remainder of the characters. I do feel that this was a well written story, full of suspense, mystery and intrigue.

That being said, I did enjoy listening to this story, thoroughly enjoyed the narration of the story, and will at some point seek out another Elizabeth Adler novel and most definitely will seek out other works read by Bernadette Dunne!
