Unusually for me, I read each in the trilogy back to back.
Books one and two I really liked, but book three was too long, with too much time spent on her “will she/won't she?” affair.
I'm probably doing this a massive injustice but, after 100 pages it still had not gripped my attention. The pace is funereal, and the two central characters...well you keep asking why the hell they married each other, since they hardly knew each other and have little in common. I'm not going to persevere with it. Life's too short!
