"it was A a great"
Adam Truax
"Pros:<br/><br/>The soap opera possibility of Hannah being pregnant is ended and her symptoms are pointed out to be stress related. She should have been referred to a therapist but you know…a vacation works…<br/><br/>Cons:<br/><br/>The inconsistencies in the series with the characters really bother me. For example, in an early book where Hannah had to lose weight to fit into a dress Mike was described as very careful about his weight. He worked out a lot, would skip meals and sweets if he gained as much as half a pound. Now we have him eating three servings at dinner and entire trays of cookies. He has multiple meals and snacks and is always hungry. This wasn’t a slow development it was sudden because it was “funny” to have Mike just show up at mealtime.<br/><br/>Where is Bill? He is Andrea’s husband and the Sheriff yet he is suddenly never around Hannah. With her “interference” in police investigations she should be talking to Bill often."
