I think the book jackets should be clearer that this is part of a series and what number it is. Exactly - finding out after the fact that it's part of a series, can spoil a good book.<br /><br />Vivienne - Absolutely! It could even be part of the back cover blurb.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261873308731564886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-88552851983782751892009-08-24T07:44:40.065-04:002009-08-24T07:44:40.065-04:00I hate that too when you get a book and realise it...I hate that too when you get a book and realise it is half way through a series.

Can spoil what is a very good book! In those cases I could blame myself, if I didn't research it well enough, but not if I just fancied it as an impulse buy! <br /><br />HugsSassy Brit @ Alternative-Read.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035224672516442455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-14175977668512646042009-08-24T00:57:57.644-04:002009-08-24T00:57:57.644-04:00Great answers.

I have yet to read the Stephanie Plum series. I am really into the Sue Grafton books. Loved reading your answers. <br /><br />That cat picture ROCKS!kalea_kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645846028493046287noreply@blogger.com
