I read this mystery romance on Kindle and this early edition had some formatting issues, but nothing that detracted from the story. Great book for winter doldrums when you want to get away and your vacation is months away. There is a little bit of sexuality, and some adult circumstances that fit the nature of the story. The ending was nicely done and had some surprises that I didn’t guess, all in all enjoyable. ( )
