Search - Now Face to Face (Barbara Devane, Bk 2)

First half of book was great--last 1/3 sort of fell apart. It is such a large book that it felt like on the last 1/3 the author just had to throw things together as she realized otherwise it would be too long for publication? The last 1/3 is a mishmosh of typing of loose ends and is not enjoyable to read. Lots of gaps. The worst thing though was in the last 1/3 the author must have repeated that biblical phrase theme of the book "when I was a child...' about 50 times. You just wanted to throw up about then. Jeesh, I was so sick of seeing her stick it into the pages again and again and again...did I mention again? Ha ha Characters were full and vivid though and I can't fault it on that. The elderly Duchess is still my favorite character.

The sequal to "Through a Glass Darkly"
A great follow up book! You jump right back into the characters life. Barbara is a grown women now, with the same determination as her grandmother. This was a great book.
