Just like watching reading a script straight from the TV show. These are different than the Donald Bain books in that JB actually drinks (more than a sip of sherry), her character is more feminine, rather than written by a man who thinks he knows how a woman should behave. I'm not dissing Donald Bain, I've read just about every book he wrote -before he became ill and then passed away - along with a co-writer, but the way Bain wrote her was more "manly", no-nonsense. I do love a good story.
