I like L. R. Wright precisely because I like character development and
setting. I have the feeling I could navigate around Sechelt because of how
she describes it.
That I may find out early who did something does not mean that I do not enjoy
folowing the path of Karl and Cassandra. As for "Strangers ...", I'll either
have to wait for it to come out in paper or hope some buys it for me for
Christmas. Too many home renovations for this year.:-(

I've read some of his but have not seen a new one in a looong time.
Take care,
