Not As Expected

I'm sure this review will never see the light of day, but I had to write it anyway.

Karla's first novels were brilliant, in my opinion anyway. I have listened to all of her publications since the first one and enjoyed every single one. The twists, intrique, the guessing until the end have been so enjoyable - until they weren't! The last three books have been a struggle for me to get through, in particular this last one. It sounded to me like every other chapter was repeated in a different format saying exactly the same thing over and over, I kept hoping that it was a bad patch I'm sure that some authors go through but three books on - I don't think so.

Her female characters have changed, they used to be tough, strong women. Now they all seem sad and broken, unable to think for themselves and the endless self/analysis of how useless they feel at being treated like doormats by their male partners.

Also, the plots were so less predictable than the recent books. Almost as if the ending was written before the story unfolded.
It is such a shame because I will no longer trust that the next book will be any better than the last three. I really, really, want to read book 16 of the Gena Hart series but don't want to waste a credit and be disappointed all over again,
