** spoiler alert ** 
 In fairness, I would give this 3.5 stars. I was just disappointed in the authors choice to kill the plot line with Maisie and James. This was an enjoyable book, but I feel this plot choice gave up the tension that Maisie had between her career and her relationship. Had James lived and the two continued her life together, I think an exciting story would have ensued of a woman keeping her identity while she also built a life with her husband. As this story continues, it supports the opinion that she is only able to have a rewarding career alone. I feel this was a missed opportunity.
