I like what you have to say about the series - especially your obvious enthusiasm for them - but I struggle to get into a cozy mystery anymore, even on television. <br /><br />I totally agree on characters being so important, especially in series books. I've read way too many where the secondary characters are so badly neglected by the author that I can barely keep straight in my mind exactly where they fit into the plot; they are just names to keep up with.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-11494679485220664072021-06-08T04:26:57.524-07:002021-06-08T04:26:57.524-07:00The Marriage Bureau is such an interesting concept...The Marriage Bureau is such an interesting concept and premise, Cathy. I really like the creativity of it. And you make a good point about how important even secondary characters can be. That in itself can be enough to make you eager for the next book.
