Julie Domino is an NYU economics professor on summer break whose mother sends her to Greece to find her sister, Emery, who has apparently gone missing. As Emery, a documentary filmmaker, is given to such disappearances, no one seems particularly worried, but Julie is sent just to make sure everything is all right. Her strong resemblance to her older sister causes her some trouble with various authorities, and she must turn to Noah Majors, whom she feels is a disreputable spy, to straighten things out.

Julie becomes caught up in a cat-and-mouse game that keeps bringing her into contact with Noah and her disturbing attraction to him.

I gave this three stars because I did not find it a chore to finish, yet I did not find the romantic plot nor the mystery plot to be particularly enticing. It wasn’t really overwritten, overly cliché, or just too darned cheesy to tolerate. But I felt like I missed something in the final resolution of the mystery, as though the author ran out of steam or was hampered by word count (this seems to happen far too often). Even the resolution of the romantic plot left some doubt in my mind as to this couple’s future. However, it was entertaining enough most of the way through. ( )
