Plot certainly has plenty of action, but it all races by so fast you don't get a chance to feel it. The Heroine is a child prodigy who has faced down a childhood stalker, having to leave home to protect herself, then she becomes an award-winning surgeon by her early twenties, her sister stealing her fiance, and now mobsters have a hot out on her - but she's perfectly composed, perfectly adjusted, and acts perfectly normally throughout the entire book. Why have such an interesting backstory if you aren't going to end up with a quirky character? Hero was ordinary FBI he-man, criminals turned out to be relatively stupid, all in all sorta boring.
