Title: More mystery then romance
Review: I thought the mystery part good, who set up Hastings Adair and why. But I thought the romance part lacking. I did not feel any real chemistry from these two, in fact I don't see what or why they are attracted to each other. The only thing I can figure is Hastings is so grateful that a woman believes in his innocence he mistakes that for love. And Alice feels so bad about believing his guilt and trying to kill him, she mistakes the guilt for love.The mystery was really good, I never figured the person who was the master mind, but next time the author needs to develop the chemistry of the two main characters. I read the other reviews and this is my first Veryan book so I don't have anything to compare it to. I am going to read the first two, hopefully they will be better then "The Riddle of the Reductant Rake".
