Her last few books have a rather boring sameness, unlike her earlier ones.<br />So happy to hear my blog helped you out! Some of my favorite suspense writers are Jonathan Kellerman, Jeffrey Deaver, Tami Hoag and Tess Gerritsen. I read them and many more established writers but try to always find time for new authors who write suspense.<br />Hope you had a nice weekend,<br />MarlaMarla Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004295584548524776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438850631282274504.post-55572468243987341812014-01-19T14:48:57.314-08:002014-01-19T14:48:57.314-08:00Hi Marla,

I just wasn't into her anymore and even her clinical and forensic descriptions had ceased to hold my attention. Maybe she is just not interesting enough as a character. Unlike Nelson DeMille's John Corey and his wife Kate Mayfield who always amuse, make me think and seem real flesh and blood, Scarpetta held no interest. Anna Pigeon is fascinating, but a bit angststy for me sometimes. I love you blog and I''m glad you wrote about this today. It gives me much to think about for my own book.

And most of us WERE readers long before we became writers.<br />Have a great week,<br />MarlaMarla Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004295584548524776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438850631282274504.post-4098847962839709282014-01-13T15:52:30.512-08:002014-01-13T15:52:30.512-08:00Good thoughts and warnings for writer to heed.

And my blog readers know I talk about all kinds of subjects. Research is the key to making up stories with variety!<br />Writer Davewww.writerdave.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661899425332176357noreply@blogger.com
