This book was okay. The heroine was feisty and had moxie and I appreciated her difficult past and her subsequent inability to forge connections with people and leave her loneliness.

The mystery started off very interesting; got me hooked and kept me guessing. I also appreciated the unconventional ending.

What I didn't like was a) her inane flip flopping when it came to the men she meets. One minute, they're scary, the next, she's ready to marry them. It didn't make sense or ring true. And the other thing I struggled with was b) the Christian sermonizing, which, quite frankly, surprised me, as I wasn't expected it. It came about third of the way in, and came on too strong. i didn't find it subtle at all. Especially how all the 'good' people went to church and had God in their lives, while the 'bad' people of the book did not. I did appreciate how her spirituality helped her heal from her past, but it really just came on way too strong for my tastes.
