They are all in my TBR pile to be reread (I read them originally in print in the late 80s), but wish they had been left as is.
Harlequin did this for a while when they republished print titles (changing albumn to CD and then to MP3 for example). If you change that one element is has a domino effect IMO.
I want the original book, just in digital.
My favorites by her are
She has a lot of humor in her books. And though some of her books are technically murder mysteries, they are more Murder, She Wrote/British drawing room detective type stories in that the murders happen off page, no really gory scenes, etc (if that makes any sense). But as I said she's written in a wide variety of subgenres over her long career.

I totally agree about the domino effect! Thanks for the list I will go look at the blurbs and see if any look good to me.
Last year I read Nora Robert's first two book set in the Night series and even though it took place in the 80s I still enjoyed all the wacky fashions and no technology. I also love Sandra Brown's old books. I think these authors are trying to appeal to a newer generation and in doing so they could possibly ruin a good book.
