River Deep
Melisande Ray loves the Thames. After all, her beloved hotel, the Ray of Sunshine, overlooks its banks. But when the wealthy leisure mogul Wendell James sets up a rival business nearby, he threatens to destroy all that she holds sacred. Meanwhile, Gisela Ashley rents a narrow-boat with no idea that she will fall in love with an ex-soldier named Keefe Ashleigh. Will he uncover her terrible secret? Both women find themselves river-deep in trouble. The question is: what will it take to get them out?

Overall, I enjoyed this story except for the sex scenes but that's personal preference.
The characters were well-defined, the sense of place, great while the suspense kept me engaged.
I enjoyed the writing style - the best thing, in my opinion.
Worth a look.

I love the romantic mystery. The characters were good. The plots (yes plural) were excellent. I have read several of Martin's series. I have missed one. I think men and women.an would enjoy them.

Double trouble.
A great read two stories running parallel with one another but with different plots . Only problem is it ended too abruptly . Left me wanting more.
