Loved this book. I figured out the crime part about halfway through the book but by then, I was already so engrossed in the other part of the story, I just had to finish to see how it ends. Good thing too because it certainly did NOT end the way that I thought it did - SOOO MUCH BETTER!!! Without exposing any spoilers, the last few chapters kind of blew me away. Will definitely be looking at the rest of Howard's library for more of her work. Loved the way that she wrote this story and the way that it progressed.
As in most of Linda Howard's novels this book has a great plot with pages of hold-your-breath excitement. However, in keeping with Howard's writing, the sex scenes are often ill-placed and just plain bad. For example the lead male, still panting from his near death experience of falling over a waterfall said, and I quote, "I'd give my left nut to be inside of you." Seriously! Too, the book gets bogged down by pages of the leading lady's feelings and woe-ez-me pity parties. I enjoy most of Linda Howard's novels despite these flaws that appear to be in all of her work and will continue picking them up. But this book will most likely fall into forgetfulness along with the other 3 star novels.
