Title: Unbelievable Plot
Review: Normally I love Brenda Joyce's work, having read all of her novels, but I was greatly disappointed with The Third Heiress.I felt the plot was too ridiculous to be believed. I wondered why Jill had such a fixation over Kate, and why she'd be so concerned with a possible murder from 90 years in the past.Throughout this never-ending book, I found myself thinking, "Oh, please, let's be a bit realistic here!" No one, but no one, would be so concerned with Kate and what had befallen her so long ago, and I also found it hard to believe that Alex would willingly wrap himself up in this "mystery" as well. More than likely, he'd have walked away muttering to himself.One major annoyance--"He stared." "She stared." I was about to scream. Certainly Ms. Joyce can manage better than that.Normally a fast reader, I think it took me a week to get through The Third Heiress. I'd pick it up, read a few pages, then go find something better to do.I hope her next book is a much better read.
