Unfortunately the novel wasn't quite as great as Ms. Navratilova's career. The story was simple enough. Jordan Myles a former woman's Grand Slam champion, retired, and a physical therapist at an exclusive sports training facility, well, she and her colleagues sort of lose the #3 women's player in the world (who's also an up and coming American teen sweetheart).
So, Jordan sets out to find out why the teen sensation really went missing. Instead she gets caught in a mystery/thriller journey through the tennis world.
That's the most interesting part of the story. 'Seeing' some of the behind the scenes stuff and the names of players that I've watched popping up too (though mostly never in the flesh, they use made up characters when they need famous tennis players for the 'in the flesh' parts of the story).
But, onto the less great things. There was way too much description. And not only that, but everything in the book, scene, jokes, dialogue, seems to go on just a little too long.
Still, it's not a bad mystery/thriller, but a middle of the road one. ( )
