5.0 out of 5 stars The second in in what I hope to be a long series of books!, March 24, 2002

I enjoyed this book tremendously. Ms. Bailey does such a wonderful job describing, not only the global atmosphere but also the little nuances. Her characters are drawn with broad strokes and they truly grow on you. It's fascinating how slowly she's developing the relationship between the Chief and Lizzie. I'm such an impatient person, but I find myself savoring the build-up of two people getting to know each other. I hope they've covered much more ground, however, if and when the next installment is published. I truly hope there is another book, because it is original and fresh - truly entertaining.

I usually can figure out the "who dun it" in the mysteries that I read but this one had me stumped to the end. Good story intelligently written. Glad I discovered this book through my local book club!
