On a gamble, I read MM's How Like An Angel last year and liked it a lot. I thought it held up well and it was fun comparing her treatment of a PI with that of her husband. So many good old books out there. It's hard to read them all, though it sure if fun trying.Frank Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564007564601986631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-54450150068670634152010-07-09T07:53:27.741-07:002010-07-09T07:53:27.741-07:00Terrific review, Patti.
