![]() ![]() I'm glad that I finally gave the series a try. ![]() I felt the story moved right along, and made for an easy read.

However, despite those negatives, I did like it. Goose in a Pond by Earlene Fowler Seeing a Large Cat by Elizabeth Peters. And speaking of the latter, he sure wasn't very warm and loving, and, in fact, seem to spend most of the time being aloof and/or disapproving. I also really disliked the condescending attitudes of the males in parts of the story, including her husband.

This is the first novel by this author that I've read. ![]()
