My paperback copy of The Other Woman arrived yesterday, and I intend to reread it before reading The Wrong Girl.<br /><br />Roberta, I loved both of your earlier series. The Key West mysteries are delightful, too. I hope you will be giving them to us for a long time!<br /><br />I wonder if we should have a virtual wake for all of our favorite series that have ended? Or at least for former series written by our JRW ladies? (My problem is I am very reluctant to call them "former" series. As long as the characters are still alive...somewhere.. I hold out hope that they will show up again in future books. Like Kaye, I have been very happy to see Sigrid Harald again.)<br />Deb Romanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-73587222785842808572013-07-07T16:48:54.859-04:002013-07-07T16:48:54.859-04:00Lucy/Roberta - I have got to catch the show FRIDAY...Lucy/Roberta - I have <i>got</i> to catch the show FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS via DVD/stream/whatever. I read the book several times and was blown away by it. I donated my copy to a friend who was sending books to a unit in Afghanistan. She asked me if I really, really wanted to give it up. I felt it needed to go there. Usually, I can't bear to part with books I love, but this one wanted to go. #sendtheguyswiththenets :) Rhonda Lanehttp://www.thehorseyset.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66497802953820287262013-07-07T16:40:02.572-04:002013-07-07T16:40:02.572-04:00I miss Dicey Deere, Deborah Morgan,, Deborah Donne...I miss Dicey Deere, Deborah Morgan,, Deborah Donnelly, Molly Flynn (I know she died, (Dorothy Simpson) Sue Hubbards books about upper NY state, and so many moreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-55002425264730684392013-07-07T15:59:17.911-04:002013-07-07T15:59:17.911-04:00Rhonda, I understand exactly what you mean about b...Rhonda, I understand exactly what you mean about being attached to characters.

I also miss Roberta's Cassie Burdette golfer series and Hank's Charlie McNally. <br /><br />I understand and accept all the business and creative reasons, but I also became emotionally attached to all those characters.

What's going to happen in Trout Run next?)<br /><br />In my imagination, they're still out there, doing what they do, like Tony Soprano is still hosting cookouts and may even be a grandpa.
