When they just go on and on (ahem Scarpetta) it begins to feel like they are just going through the motions for the cash grab. Others stay fresh and relevant, so good for them. I will admit that I went into a bit of a funk with the end of the Harry Hole series, but can imagine as someone writing this darkness that it would begin to suck out your soul.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
