Query: Pining for the Garwood of Yore

This book is a stinker. When I compare the artistry, humor, and emotion of Garwood's historicals with this...book...I want to WEEP! Once upon a time, she was my favorite! I re-read her work over and over again. This book, however, has no mystery, no charm, no character development--I could go on, but other reviewers have said it for me. And it's not that I don't like contemporary romantic suspense--they're my favorites!--but Garwood just can't write them. Try a Linda Howard. Try a Catherine Coulter. Try a JD Robb. But leave these new Garwoods on the shelf where they belong. Serious readers should discount all those positive reviews. They could only have been written by Garwood's kids.
