The mystery was overshadowed by the main characters' relationship. That wouldn't have been a problem, but my main objection to the book IS the relationship between the exes: Jordan and Kathryn.

The gist is: Kathryn seems to be pining after her ex-husband, but the ex-husband has no problem having sex with his present girlfriend and trying to have an affair with his ex-wife at the same time. Jordan lacks depth, morals, character, conscience, etc - all the things that would make a man attractive to a woman - unless, of course, she was only after casual sex. He is described as having a great body, but, in my opinion, it would take a brainless woman to want him for the long haul. Kathryn seems to be making all the compromises and doing all the giving - Jordan's a waste of time and space. There's macho and then there's worthless, obnoxious pigs - Jordan fits into the pig catagory. Kathryn is just a plain idiot.

If this is representative of today's relationships, and authors have come to believe that this is what women want to read - then Heaven help us. This is a shallow man's fantasy. I prefer to read a story where there's at least the illusion of a caring relationship and the man treats the woman with RESPECT! and she demands it instead of rolling over and being a desperate-to-have-a-man doormat! I was so disappointed in this book that I haven't read a Heather Graham Pozzessere book since.
