Since this is a serial book,the author has certain contraints, one of them being the lenght of the book. This book has 2 great main charcters-Adam, who is the head of the CCC agency,which is a group of volunteers with varied skills who like to help solve crime, and his administrative assistant,Molly, who has hopes of being an investigator,not just Adams'assistant. Molly is a great character. She has had a hard life,but she is still sunny and optimistic. She knows that if it was not for Adam,whose pocket she tried to pick 7 years ago,she might be a lot worse off in life. Adam did not turn her in to the police,instead he gave her a chance by hiring her as his assistant. Adam is a retired Marine who likes things done by the book,and Molly,while organized and efficient,is much more about feelings. The story is about Molly trying to help an old friend by solving a string of robberies that soon escalate into something more sinister. It is also about Adam and Molly finding out after 7 years of working together that they are much more to each other than co-workers. It helps that they are both mature people -Molly is in her early thirties and Adam is in his early forties. This was a great book but if it were only longer,it would have been fantastic. The ending was too abrupt,as if the author had run out of room and had to tie up loose ends very fast. Also,some to the scenes could have been expanded and some of the characters-especialy the nasty Gloria,could have been more fleshed out. But the author did great with what she had to work with. A great book about two great charcters. As I said before-if it were only longer..................
