I really wanted to finish this book but alas, it could not keep my attention. The mystery to solve the murder of Sheriff Elle’s exboyfriend is given to us in confusing chunks of past and present that I had difficulty following at times and wondering what each scene had significance to, if any. I made it 55% into the book and there was no real direction the story was taking other than life passing by in the small county after the murder. Elle was an interesting and lovably flawed character but Robin, the reporter, came off sleazy and disrespectful. There was interest between them but nothing had sparked at midpoint of the story other than a few modest conversations. I enjoy a slow burn romance but the snail pace lost my interest. The characters overall held my interest, just the story itself did not.
