I enjoyed this book. The characterizations were fine, within the expectations of the genre. The plot twists were interesting, usually neither telegraphed nor too abrupt. The plot's culmination is kind of rushed and the developments within the falling action, mercifully brief, can be forecast a mile away. Those are relatively small gripes, however. I'm certainly no expert on this genre, but for anyone who finds these old time romances (this one was written in 1972) to be fun to read from time to time, this one, while perhaps not at the very top of the craft, is at any rate good, relaxing fun.
