Could be longer

There's a lot to like about this book. Good, tight plotline, effective dialogue and sympathetic, interesting and three-dimensional characters. Intrigue and suspense as counterpoint to the irresistible, but certainly far-from-easy romance between Estate Agent, Aria, and uncompromisingly butch Detective Molly. What I found refreshing about this book is that Roberts doesn't try to pretend that Molly isn't going to turn heads and raise eyebrows or that she can just operate in a straight world where no-one (including herself) acknowledges that she is cut from a different cloth. This completely saves her from being a tired out stereotype. What disappointed me slightly though is the length of the book - the publisher states around 240 pages and in fact it is 194. We are given enough information to construct the romantic conclusion for ourselves but I would actually have welcomed another 20 pages in which it was fed to me, in graphic detail!
