Quite nice! The situation is - well, contrived, but not beyond possibility. And they don't just fall into bed and love as a solution - they actually have to work out difficulties, consider alternatives, consider each other...Very solid characters, including Robbie; he's not a wiseman in a child suit, but a realistic small child. There's a throwaway line in there that I really like, on two levels - at that point, it seems like Natalie is doing all the compromising (for True Love, but still), when Hank says "I don't think there's much call for an English-speaking homicide detective in {Guatamala}..." Not only does it show he's thinking of where he can compromise too; that's a book/series I'd love to read. The American homicide cop, on summer vacation with his son, daughter, and doctor wife...gets mixed up in something-or-other in the small town where she's working her summers. I don't think it's been written, but I'd read it...Again, these are solid characters, not just one-shots. I'll be looking for more by this author.
I didn't mean to (re)read this, but I picked it up and sank into the story. I still agree with my original review - good story, good characters. And I found it as an ebook so I can get rid of the paper copy.… (more)
