The book had so much potential at the beginning (you know what that means when a person uses 'potential'). Initially, I was thrown off with the intense amount of detail that Nora provided for the readers on the methods of training your dog. What began to look like an actual How To Train Your Dog guidebook, eventually it could be seen that it was Nora's way of using it as metaphors in the later part of the book.
What also threw me off as the fact that the lead protagonist, Fiona, shares the same nickname as me so that was rather awkward.
But the mystery that surrounds the murderer, and the murderer's proxy, did manage to paint this world where she really has no where to run to and that at any moment, the murderer will get to her. But that, I think, was the flaw. Because how do you go from that height of anticipation? You either kill Fiona off but since this IS a Nora Roberts book, obviously Fiona will live to marry Simon. And she does. And because of that, the exodus felt rather rushed and...unrealistic.
I wasn't really truly disappointed with the book. It had its good moments. But at most parts, I was rather annoyed at how the descent to capturing the murderer felt like a cop out to finish up the story.
Also, that wine cabinet thing. Really?
