I love to read the 'series' type of murder mysteries. I have so many favorites that thre isn't enough room here to list all of those authors. But I have just started reading the " Donna Rose" murder mysteries by Norma Tadlock Johnson. The first book " Donna Rose and the Slgu War" started out to be so good that I couldn't put it down. " Donna Rose" being my age, was kind of a "grumpy old wo(man)" but I did start to love her character But then towards the end of the book I got the feeling this author was getting tired of writing this story and then just ruhed the ending to a close. Another series of mysteries by Robin Hathaway, the Jo Banks series is the same way. Her first book " Scarecrow" started out so good but then the story ending seemed to be rushed, to me anyway.I am starting to read the next book in this series " satan's Pony" and I do hope the ending isn't going to be rushed. I love to read stories from my age group, written by authors my age. But some of these authors seem to rush the endings too much. Maybe, like me these authors feel the need to rush with the hopes that they will live long enough to finish the book!!!!!????????
