I really liked this story, but (oh you knew that was coming) she sure does ramble on about scenery and such. It got very distracting and so I skimmed the parts that were her raptures of the cretian country and just stuck to the plot. I am certain that the descriptions are beautiful, but to me this was a suspense book and also a mystery of sorts it wasn't really my cup of tea. 3 stars, maybe less because of the ramblings.
This book was very slow reading at the beginning, it picks up a little after that and then the ending was really weird and kind of stupid. Not sure if I would recommend it.
