These books are just a showcase of implausible plots and a constant nagging at us about how awfully independent and liberated Maisie is, how daringly she defies convention, blah, blah, blah. A competent writer shows us, illustrates her points, doesn't find it necessary to constantly hit us over the head. Anne Perry does the same thing. How can intelligent readers not tire of this? <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/196086?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
