As the series grew it seemed that the characters got less so. One reviewer even wondered if someone was ghostwriting for the author.<br /><br />But I agree. I like Hamish MacBeth much better.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-5241070538310899282021-06-28T21:27:01.064-07:002021-06-28T21:27:01.064-07:00love those concerti; who's the oboist?

Yes, I'm not quite sane about them. Luckily I have an understanding husband.<br /><br />I read the blurb on your author's page and I went to Amazon to read the blurb there about your book. I do love mysteries. I'll be honest I'm not hot on mysteries.<br /><br />However, I'm willing to give your book a try. If I like it I will review it on my blog.<br /><br />All the best and heartfelt wishes for success!<br /><br />PS I really like the cover.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-32932622828436701012021-06-28T12:32:21.221-07:002021-06-28T12:32:21.221-07:00Sharon, did you read The Duke of York's Steps ...Sharon, did you read The Duke of York's Steps by Wade?
