Grand Passion

I'm sure part of why this ended up in a local lending library is that it's set on the Washington coast (where I live). I like a romance-suspense blend in theory, but this was fairly flat. One half of the mystery is fairly mysterious until the end, but the other half was obvious within the first few chapters, and the primary male character is so unrelentingly bossy that I'm not sure why his female counterpoint didn't smack him, let alone get serious with him within...a week of meeting? Now I'm just being peevish. It's fine. It was fine.
