My office has a bookshelf to make use of, so I picked this book, looking for a light, time passing read. That’s exactly what I got. Not exactly a literary masterpiece but entertaining enough to pass the time at work.

This is book #2 of 5 from the wedding shower prize basket I mentioned in the review for Liar, Liar. It could be very loosely categorized as a romance, but it's more of a mystery. I don't really like mysteries.

This was an on your edge of your seat kind of book. It was fast enough to be interesting, but not so fast to be overwhelming. If you've thought you've had a bad day, it is probably nothing compared to what Nora went through. It is a nice perspective! It was a delightful book.
