How did I get this so wrong? I thought this was historical fiction, with a mystery and light on the romance. It was mostly a historical romance—rather heavy on the sex scenes, and an uninspiring mystery. By the end of the book I didn‘t care. It started out strong. I loved the setting: Vienna in the 1800‘s. A hotel past it‘s prime. Several interesting characters. However my interest waned about ½ way through when the romance overtook the story.
