Query: Calder Promise: The letdown of the Calder Series

I purchased Janet Dailey's complete 10 volume Calder Series because of my love of western/ranchland fiction. This, the 7th of the series, diverts the reader completely away from the plains of Montana and centers around the hoidy toidy carryings on of aristocratic Europeans. If I had been interested in this type of novel, there are plenty others out there. There was no need to stray so far from the central story-line of this series. I found myself reading entire chapters then realizing I had no idea of what I had read. This installment was a waste of her time as a writer and my time as a reader.
