This book is more suspense than romance, though Jodie and Harrison do decide they "love" each other by the end of the book. I was glad to see that Jodie voiced one of my concerns with this genre which is that usually the characters have only known each other a short time before they're engaged or married to each other. Despite her voicing that though, it seems like shortly after that, they're both talking about having an Autumn wedding (so probably within a year).
Oddly, the case that brings Jodie back to her hometown is not solved (at least not by the end of the book)--though it does sound like they plan to keep working it from New Orleans as best they can--at least until some new evidence shows up. We also don't see the solving of who is behind the notes being left for the mothers nominated in the pageant. Instead, the case that is solved ends up being what happened 25 years ago when Mary Sampson was murdered and Jodie's mother disappeared--and also when Vera's husband disappeared.
I guessed right on some plot points, but didn't guess correctly who had murdered Mary Sampson. ( )

Prologue
New Orleans, Louisiana
FBI Headquarters, Missing Persons Unit
At night, if she dreamed at all, Jodie Gilmore dreamed of Loomis, Louisiana---the thick, ugly scent of the swamp in summer heat, the shadowy gloom of stately manor homes gone to ruin, the tension that shrouded the little town.

He laughed again, leaning down to kiss her before they walked to her car together, the scent of the bayou swirling around them, hinting at secrets and decay and a darkness that still stained the rich Loomis soil.
