But, no. My will power waned and I was done in 2 nights. Dakota Stevens is thoroughly likeable and appealing with his rich mix of chivalry and clever mischief. The Rich Are Different is an excellent sequel and has been well worth the wait. This series is quick-paced with its twists and turns that you won't be able to put down the book until you and Dakota solve the crime. I'll read anything Orcutt puts out. Anyone who reads this should make sure to have a defibrillator nearby. The characters are so real, the storyline so compelling, that real life took a backseat during the 2 days I was reading each of these books. The writing is excellent. The story moves at a good pace. What I like most is the characters are just spot on. Great book. Great writer. There are no wasted words, no extraneous chapters, no unnecessary passages, just good old fashioned mystery and suspense, without being melodramatic or over the top. Grab some coffee, a Snuggy and a fresh pair of Depends because you won't be able to stop reading once you start! A fantastic journey through beautifully described landscapes with an exceptionally well-written cast of characters. The attention to detail Orcutt achieves while still keeping the story moving at a quick pace is genius.
