Charlie Cochrane - Mysteries with a dash of slash, romances with just a pinch of spice

This is a nice incentive to look again at both the book and the movie. I read the book ages ago shortly after it was first published. Honestly, I don't recall much beyond the basics. I also saw the movie when it first came out, then once again a few years back. I do remember thinking that the wistful remembrance in the movie felt tacked on and awkward. It would have worked better had they stayed true to the book, I think. I thought Clive's motivations in the movie for cooling off were plausible. However, with your reminder of how it was handled in the book, it does feel like something of a cop out.
