Title: Good....but something was missing
Review: I have read a few of Ms. Joyce's books and I have to say that the woman knows how to spin a story. The Third Heiress is definitely a great book, BUT while reading it your under the impression that something is missing. I think the missing piece in the book is the romance that builds up between Jill and ALex. The mystery that the book has is superb but the love story seems kind of stilted. As a reader I found that I'd have preferred Jill to have ended up with someone else other than Alex because throughout the novel Jill can never trust in ALex and it makes no sense for her to end up falling in love with him. There is never that connection where you can say this seems like true love between the hero and heroine.Anyway...if you're looking for a romance novel this is not the book for you, but if you want a mystery read the book!! THe mystery is great! You get completely absorbed by Jill's fascination for Kate and her "quest" to find out her roots.
Is the review positive or negative?
