Query: Great Disappointment

I was so happy to see a new Belva Plain book -- and eagerly sat down to read. I almost didn't bother to finish it. The characters didn't "speak" to me at all -- and this has not been true in her other books. The story line was very ordinary and predictable. I think that I will stick to reading her earlier books.
