This is my first Mary Kay Andrews book and it won't be my last. I mostly chose to read this because other reviews said it was romantic suspense. If you go into it thinking there's a healthy dose of romance, you'll be disappointed. It's very light on the romance. The romance doesn't even show up until 70% or more into the story. Even though I was a bit disappointed due to the lack of romance, I still really enjoyed the story, characters, and setting, and the mystery aspect kept me guessing until the end.
