Some people seem to have a problem with Dandy's relationship with her husband but as the series continues I really like it. Dandy seems like a 'normal' exasperated wife of long-standing. I had a look at the blurb on one of her standalone books and it didn't appeal to me at all.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-78554841304061894282017-11-26T10:27:07.194-08:002017-11-26T10:27:07.194-08:00I have also heard that the series gets better as i...I have also heard that the series gets better as it goes along, Margot.
