Query: Just Avoid

This book is simply awful. If you have never read one of this author's books, don't start here. Cardboard characters, ridiculous potboiler of a plot, incorrect details throughout which distract (somewhat mercifully) from the period mood, leaden dialogue - there is nothing good to say about this, other than perhaps writing it showed Ms. Phillips the error of her ways and opened the door to her later, far, far better work.If you are an avid reader of her books, leave this one of your list to avoid admiration for this author. Anyone who is not willing to overlook straight out bad writing should avoid the book altogether.
