Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-13 00:00:00 Christopher Gilbertson Marisa Caroll has been entrusted with two of the most important volumes in this series, and I can't help but think that was a mistake. As if there isn't enough plot line with the romance of Dr. Jeff Baron and Cece Hayes, she also introduces a subplot involving a mercy killer at the nursing home Cece is in charge of. Because of this, much less time is focused on the reconnection of the two former high school sweethearts and the healing from her husband's death and his divorce, and too much on the nursing home mystery and the advancement of Judson's impending indictment for the 40 year old murder of his wife. I feel like I barely know Cece and Jeff, which is sad because I was so looking forward to Jeff's story. There's also a lot of continuity issues involving time and clothing, such as Jeff returning from the hospital wearing jeans and showing up at the nursing home at 7, dealing with a sick patient, going home to go to bed and asking his mom to wake him at 9:30. It seems like it should have been almost 9:30 by then already. Anyhow, this book is only worthwhile if you're making your way through the series, and only because of the developments in Margaret's murder case.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-05-27 00:00:00 Nan Spindler This is the story of a small town seniors residence with an "angel of mercy" running loose. Written in 1992 it is definitely dated. The actions of the male protagonist is very "macho" as he strong arms the female into a relationship. Thankfully this type of behaviour is no longer acceptable in society. The editing in this one sucks as continuity is sorely lacking. It is an unrealistic, escapist fantasy with no direct relation to reality with timelines so abbreviated as to be ridiculous.
