I must confess that I've condemmed Ms. Higgins' latest effort without reading it! I can't get past the fact that she's written in the first person and revealed the culprit early on. I've read every book published by Ms. Higgins and I always look forward each Spring to reading her latest. Unfortunately, I have almost a phobia about reading first person books -- I feel as if I'm missing out on the perspectives of other characters and I can't get past that. Call me shallow; but it's a fact. Coupling that with no culprit revealed at the end of the book makes it impossible for me to even crack the cover. Ironically, I'd just sat down at the computer to order the book from Amazon and now I have to find something else to read. Sorry, Ms. Clark. I've loved your books in the past and I've always bought them in hardcover; I have quite a collection. Maybe next time....... huh?
