Query: More of the same, not more of what made the series great..

Let me start off by saying, if you did not care for the last few books and felt starved for content that was other than sexual, Danse Macabre is not for you. The wit, humor, muder mystery plot - concise enough to stand alone in each book - interesting and well developed characters, and above all, the one liners Anita Blake is famous for, is missing. I had hopes that LKH would return to the tried and true theory of those combinations that made the first 5 books so good, but she did not. Instead we have about 120 pages of content and 340ish of sexual scenes , or prequels to them.Danse Macabre starts off with a new interesting plot, forgetting that so many loose ends were left in Incubus Dreams, then quickly moves on to sex, and then another brief bit of plot, then bam, its over.Simply put, it reads more like a poorly written Penthouse Letters, than an Anita Blake book.
