Here is my review...

SPOILER ALERT!

Number seven in the series, and they just keep getting better. Even if I do get mad as a wet hen at some of the characters, mainly Ross.

A duel? Really?? You are damn lucky, Ross, both to have survived and to not have been chased down and jailed. And as for the unfortunate Mr. Osbourne Whitworth, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy...so glad to see him dead (hopefully in hell, where he belongs). As for Drake and Morwenna, we'll see...the remeeting and hasty wedding seemed just a bit contrived to me. George Warleggan continues his unbroken streak of cruelty (to Morwenna this time, and to Demelza indirectly), but at least he gets his rigid comeuppance from his beloved wife Elizabeth, before she slips the mortal coil. Again, Ross, you had NO business going to Trenwith; even if Elizabeth had lived she would NOT have wanted you there. Personally, I'm kind of surprised Graham did that, and will be checking other Poldark folders to see what others think. Finally, I am very confused about why Elizabeth got gangrene. The mixture the doctor gave her to bring on an early labor does not seem likely to have caused it, unless there's something we don't yet know about. But I'm certainly no doctor, and will be looking at the folders again for a discussion of this...

On to the next one. I worry about how fast I'm racing through this series, but at this point my world revolves around them. I cannot speak more highly of a book/series of books or an author. (less)
