Or the follow-ups concerning her whole extended family. I think Peters makes a mistake to drift from the short novels she is good at to lengthy, detail laden novels of one family over and over again. I wish she had spent the time writing other novels instead... the ones with Vicky Bliss, Jacqueline Kirby, or various other heroines. :( Just my personal preference of course. She and Barbara Michaels (another pen name) are still my favorite for humor, suspense, and a dash of romance with a literary twist, and I don't know who I will read in this genre after I finish all of the ones I missed over the years! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/583112?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
