Query: Sweet but tame

I used to be addicted to Mary Stewart's suspense/romance novels (Nine Coaches Waiting, Madam Will you Talk?, My Brother Michael, etc.) back in high school, but I hadn't read one in years. I picked this one up hoping to recapture some of that naive thrill; I was rather disappointed. It was not at all the kind of page-turner I remember reading and rereading and rereading until I had many of the passages memorized. I'm rather perplexed as to why she bothered to write it; it felt more like a prologue than an entire novel.
