Unfortunately, for me, I found this latest read of L. Sanders to be a complete departure from his usual intriguing writing abilities....I prefer the McNally series, and hope desparately he comes back...after 18 years of reading all of his releases, I have now invested in hard cover books....Guilty Pleasures, to me was slow and the ending was poor....after all with today's societal norms on incest I found it very hard to believe this man could get on a boat and sail away from one of life's horrific situations that many children and adults live with....The characters initially had some luster then they became boring and predictable as well...overall I was disappointed with this...After living in Florida from 1992 through 1995 I became very aware of the Palm Beach and Florida coast line lifestyles....Mr. Sanders, there are ions of volumes you could write about the folks down in Florida.....Thank you...Bring back McNally and hopefully he'll marry Consuela!!!
