It's been a while since I read the first couple of books in the series, and I remember liking them, but... Are they really attributing "Half-Hanged Mary" (by Margaret Atwood, an amazing narrative poem based on a true story from the Salem witch trials era) to a character in this book? Also, why does Penny write about these characters as if 40-something is approaching elderly and 60-something is absolutely ancient?
