What Were You Expecting?

This novel was much more reminiscent of the Linda Howard I feel in love with almost a decade ago. The writing was cleaner and I didn't feel like I was reading an instruction manual. However, I also feel like she's already done this...a cop who has to interrogate his latest flame over the murder of her client...I wish Howard had been a little more original. I was also somewhat disappointed in the hero. He was so unapologetic. I can handle that in some circumstances, but here I felt he needed more grovel time. Much like Dane in Dream Man, which isn't a good thing (I hated Dane). Having said that, I enjoyed much of it. I breezed right through the novel in a few hours and had no trouble falling into the story. I hope this is a sign that Howard is on her way back. I've missed her.
