Title: amazingly repetitive
Review: Mystery line is okay but certainly am getting tired of so-o much repetition in every book. If reading a series from the beginning what is the need for constantly repeating the history of the family (parents' accident; mother's turning in grave causing earth tremblings and quake (this is utterly ridiculous!); sister's misbehavior; etc, etc, etc). Perhaps it is to take up space and therefore make the current story line shorter and easier to write? Does the author think that everyone has a short term memory problem and/or is not very intelligent?!! This is just about ruining the series for me. Otherwise it would be mildly entertaining and vaguely informative regarding Amish and Mennonite lifestyles. If not reading a series from the get-go then it is up to the reader to figure out some of the past history and preferably start at the beginning. So the lesson of this series seems to be Repeat-Repeat-Repeat!
Is the review positive or negative?
