There were many secrets kept by many people which did not unravel until toward the end of the book. There were still some unsolved secrets at the end, some of them probably to continue in a sequel. Other unresolved items frustrated me and could have been answered better in the book. I describe them in Spoilers below. I would have preferred more romantic development of the relationship between Jo and Elijah. We are told they were in love as teenagers and then separated. The main story begins 15 years later, where their paths cross and the relationship continues as if it had never stopped.
STORY BRIEF:
Jo and Elijah were in love as teens. Elijah's dad kicked him out of the house at age 19, and Elijah spent the next 15 years in the military. He comes home to Black Falls to recuperate from an injury and to investigate his father's recent death. Jo became a secret service agent in Washington, D.C. She returns to Black Falls on a short-term leave. Alex is killed, and his stepdaughter Nora fears for her life. Nora has been living in Black Falls. She packs a tent and hiking gear and plans to hide in the nearby mountains. Jo and Elijah try to find her.
DATA:
Story length: 368 pages. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: 4. Total number of sex scene pages: 9. Setting: current day Black Falls, Vermont area and Washington D.C. Copyright: 2008. Genre: romantic mystery suspense.CAUTION SPOILERS:
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF READING THE BOOK, THEN DO NOT READ BELOW. IT GIVES AWAY SOME OF THE STORY.
I was confused as to (1) why Elijah never answered Jo's letters 15 years ago and (2) why he proposed to her 15 years later, after being together for just a few days. I wished the author developed the relationship more. I never understood why Jo and Scott didn't get along. I wish the author had a better explanation as to why Nora believed Melanie was bad. Instead, the author said it was Nora's intuition. I wanted to know why Devin didn't trust Elijah. Elijah and his brother had been good to Devin. Myrtle was an interesting character, but I wanted to know more about why her love was killed. At the end of the book, I still didn't know why all the deaths had occurred, other than some people "knew too much," but about what I didn't know. Nora definitely didn't know anything, so I wanted to know why the assassins wanted to kill her.
