2007-12-26 Not up to her usual standard

I have always enjoyed Susan Sallis's books but found this one very disappointing. The plot was rather off-key and I kept waiting for it to get going but nothing happened. I have already bought her latest offering and can only hope this will be up to her usual standard. If not I shall have to cross Susan Sallis off my list of authors to be read.
