Summary: There have got to be better police/suspect stories out there
Review: I picked up this book on a whim after reading a very positive review of it in a magazine. I think the writer of that review must have mixed this up with another book. This book was a huge disappointment. The story revolves around a woman who is a suspect in her late husband's murder. She and the detective (who is actually a suspended detective) get involved right off the bat. The character development was about nil. Somehow the reclusive lady (a recluse for reasons not fully explained) falls for the cop and is able to overcome whatever it is that made her wall herself off from the world. How she got from A to B I never did figure out. The suspense plot (insurance fraud, codes, what have you) could have been very interesting, but was also not well-developed. The whole time I read this book, I felt as if I was reading the Cliff's Notes for what could have been a great story. Unfortunately for this tortured reader, it never quite got there.

Summary: There have got to be better police/suspect stories out there
Review: Robin Andrews didn't think her stop in Nashville would be so dangerous. She was separated from her husband and he had asked her to bring a computer disk that he had been keeping in her safety deposit box in NYC. When Robin arrived at his apartment, she found him murdered. Without thinking, she picked up the gun.

Detective Mitch Winton was called to the crime scene. His partner Kick Taylor thinks Robin did it because all the evidence points to her. But Mitch isn't convinced. His gut feeling tells him she's innocent. When someone tries to kill Robin, he's even more convinced. And when he learns about the computer disk, he and Robin are in the middle of a huge case.

Robin had been a child model and earned all the money for her mother and herself. But when she decided she couldn't stand modeling any more and quit, her mother kicked her out. On the outside, she was poised and elegant. But on the inside she was very insecure. She worked as a web designer from her home, never went out much, and had only married her husband for convenience. Mitch is every mother's dream son. He cooks and cleans and he's a good cop at heart.

Mitch and Robin teamed up to prove that Robin's innocent. Lyn Stone blends humor, computers and good romance and keeps you on the edge of your chair. If you like a book full of good fun, some sexual tension and a good plot, then this book is definitely for you. It was especially good to see Nashville in a book.
