Query: WHY, OH WHY ???

First three-fourths of this story was highly entertaining producing smiles, sighs, chuckles, and quite a few gasps but sadly, last fourth turned into an awful soap-opera using just about every cheap cliche in the book. Such a shame as up until that point it had been a joy to read--the story, twists, and romance wove a sensual spell and using the Natchez, Mississippi area (which is spellbinding in itself) was a pleasant change from the normal London crowd. The characters, both good and evil (and there was one whose evil knew no shame,) had been so vividly brought to life and the descriptions of the post civil war struggles were enlightening and not biased toward either side. Marsha Canham has such a wonderful way of spinning a yarn and though I don't love all of her books, I've never wanted to throw one across the room for wasting my time.
