December 2015
One of the delights of my currently busy life is a Friday night with time to read -- and a dependably good book by Krentz. This latest book provided just what I was wanting.
What's different about this book
One of the great draws of Krentz' writing is a trusted formula for a good mystery, a danger-fraught adventure, and a dependably perfect romance. That formula was present in this book -- and it was great! But somehow the precise angles and corners of Krentz' formula were off, so subtly. I found myself trying to express what was "off," and all I could articulate was polish: same formula, same dependable story line, but somehow the winsome polish was lacking. Since I can't describe what was different, I won't spend time telling how that difference was perceived.
What I'll do now that I've read it
This title will be one I'm able to share and book-talk with confidence: those who love Ms. Krentz' writing will be happy to see this one come out in December. We'll be providing this for our mystery adventure (and romance) fans -- once again a dependably good read.
