I finished If a Man Answers, and it was just ok. Nothing remarkable, but entertaining and very readable. A grade of B.

The setup, which I had liked before starting the book, was actually a bit out of place here. Just an excuse to get Sam and Molly to make a truce, but after that, the whole suspense subplot didn't jibe with the overall tone of the book.

I had a couple of niggles: (1)Molly's addiction to spangles and glitter (tacky!) and (2) the fact that they went around telling everyone and his mother about Molly having heard a murder. It turned out ok, but there was no need to risk it.

Apart from the tackiness, the Vegas setting was original, and I liked it.
