I am disappointed in this book. It says on the back cover that it is a mystery book. I realized at about the fourth chapter that this was not the case. It is more a book from the husbands point of view. The entire thing was basically about his lust for his wife. Not a bad thing, but I was under the impression that this was a mystery novel. I wouldn't recommend this and I won't be reading any more in this series.

I read this book for the April (crystal) selection in the Rainbow Reading Challenge. It was a cute book, but it dragged a bit. I liked Nuala. She is Irish and typically spunky and her brogue came through really well. She and her husband, Dermot, are amateur - well, according to Dermot Nuala is never wrong - detectives. I couldn't really follow their method of discovering information, but they did solve the crime in the end. There was a lot of sexual references - albeit they were between Nuala and Dermot who were married, but still it was a little excessive for me. I guess anyone would be lucky to have a spouse who was so enraptured with him/her. Anyway, the book was okay, but I'm not going to run out and find another book in this series. Oh well.
