Having looked forward eagerly to the latest in the Jan Hardy saga, I have to say I was bitterly disappointed when I read it. The first few books rippled with wit and humour and the characters seemed larger than life. Something has got lost along the way and the result is a predictable story line, dull characters and no sparkle whatsoever. Jan Hardy seems to be about to turn into the sort of embittered, embattled horsewoman none of us wants to become.
Come on Jan, bite the bullet and start taking a few risks!
