Thank you for your reply. I have all of the Penny books. My problem with the AA sections was that they were heavy handed. I understand about the pill addiction and forgiveness, but it had struck me as odd that she was quite repeptive about it.
I do think the book would have been a lot better if Penny had stuck to the plot line. Her characters motives are plain and easy to figure out. Her books are in the mystery genre and the mystery should take first place.
A lot of crime novels have great characters and talk about many things other than murder.
I was also uncomfortable with the paragraph or two about Jesus.
John Harvey does an excellent job with the issues that Penny was writing about.
There are many writers that do this well. I just thought that Penny went astray.
