** 2 stars
This was okay. I read this author's first book, also with this main character and felt much the same way. Ann Kingman of Books on the Nightstand called it "Nancy Drew for grown-ups"; she meant it, I think, as a compliment and I see what she means (everyone in this book is forever eating sandwiches and drinking cocoa and tea, just like in Nancy Drew! lol) . But I don't think it's necessarily a good thing. Nothing especially compelling nor objectionable. Just a pretty basic mystery. There were a couple interesting twists but the essential feeling I have is "meh". Won't go out of my way to read another one.
