There was a time when Mrs. Kellerman's books could be counted on to be better written and be superior to her husband's books. However, the last four books have shown a serious decline of Cronwellian purportions.It would seem that the Kellerman's are joined in a competition which pits them in a battle to career death. Or stated in other terms, how long will people continue to buy name brand authors who phone in and otherwise pad their creations with stilted and laughable dialogue, stories in which a child can tell whodunit with the first line of dialogue, and more phony introspection about the demands of police work and/or Yuppie Orthodox lifestyle challenges?The challenges of delivering a new book every year to support the Kellerman's lifestyle, might be better spent perhaps writing about two married best seller writers who have run out of fresh ideas, discipline plotting and respect for the people who read their recycled exercises in vanity.
