This was another enjoyable mystery of sorts mixed with romance (would be better without the sex scenes but that's personal preference).
The characters suited the plot and there was some tension and suspense. I liked the writing style and how quickly the characters were defined.
These stories have an old-fashioned feel rather than set in the modern world but that could be because of the wealth involved.
Overall, an entertaining read.
