I am a fan of this series myself, but would not dare to post, as Amazon also requires, before it was published or unless I showed that I had an ARC copy... I'm afraid I doubt that 57 copies of this book was provided as ARC??? Just sayin'...(less)

Why does the blurb say this book is the perfect entry point into the series? Any good reason other than that they want to sell more books?

There was no depth to the storyline that usually includes her others, i.e. Peabody, McNab, Mira, even Roarke. They just sort of wandered about with Dallas.
Hopefully the next one (Secrets) will be more familiar. I have it waiting beside the night stand.(less)
