Query: Lazy writing, lazy dialog

Don't waste your money. Rita Mae's writing has been going steadily down hill, in my opinion, and this one is my "last straw". I'm writing her off for good after this last embarrassment. All her protagonists are the same--strong, attractive, sensual, smart and southern. The endings wrap up with unnecessary speed & awkwardness, as if she just got bored with it and wanted it over (I don't blame her; I wanted it over too). Her writing is just plain lazy. And all this from a former die-hard fan. Sorry, Rita Mae but Rita no longer does.
