The Diplomatic Lover

This particular book is probably my least favorite of all her books I have read. It starts out more as a love story than a mystery although there is a mystery involving smuggled political information and murder. After you get into the story it does improve but I really didn't like the way this one started out. Still I wouldn't give up this book for anything. I have read most of her books anywhere from 4-5 times each and every time I re-read one I enjoy it as much as the first time I ever read it. I think the main thing I have against this one is it's about women "trying to get a man" and that scenario has never been one of my favorites -- it seems sort of demeaning -- a woman is not a woman without a man, but if you can get past this part it's a wonderful mystery, as usual.
