Query: Disappointing

Have been a Karen Robards fan for years. Just finished reading `Vanished,' and I'm sorry to say I was so disappointed. Was really looking forward to this book, but I just couldn't get into it. It was very boring and I had to force myself to finish, hoping with every chapter that it would get better. Vanished is very unlike any of her other books, almost as if it was written by someone else. I thoroughly enjoy her older historical romances as well as current romantic suspense novels, including Bait and Beachcomber. I've always liked her writing style with the exception of this book. Sorry the first review is so negative, but hopefully other readers will enjoy `Vanished' more than I.
