When I first started reading this I was wondering why this was a short story instead of a novel. It's well written and the characters engaging, although I liked the small town cop more than I did the main character, but I wanted more backstory and character development. Eventually, the action sucked me in and I ended up enjoying the read. I see now that the author has since published a full length novel about Grace deHaviland. Even so this story isn't a teaser, it is self contained and there is a very nice ending. Gave it four stars instead of five because, even though it was well written and the action was good, the deHaviland character just didn't grab me.

As of this writing, it is free and a quick read locations so worth checking out and deciding for yourself. This is a nicely constructed short story.

The characters, due to the brevity of the piece, are not fully formed, but you get the sense that they are people you'd like to know more about. The nascent relationship suggests there will be sparks and the synthesis of two strong complementary people. The plot is not involved, but still manages to subvert our first impressions. IT includes unexpected twists and the characters are not as stock or predictable as we first assume. I look forward to reading more from this author and to seeing what they can do in a longer format.

I am always so grateful to amazon for the free books and short stories for the Kindle. This is an excellent short story that has characters that I like and that I got to know something about during the course of this story.
