Query: Midnight Bayou Falls Well Short of Expectations

I have read a ton of Nora Roberts' books, and I had high hopes that this one would be as great as some of her previous works. While I do find her books a bit formulaic, they are still entertaining. However, this one was just not as good as her previous books in the same romance/suspense genre, such as Sanctuary and River's End. Her female character was rather flat and undeveloped throughout the novel. The entire book seemed like a remix of various stock characters from earlier novels, mixed and matched to provide a new story. The ending lacked her usual unexpected twist, and if you have seen the movie "Dead Again" you will guess it long before it occurs. I really expected a little more originality from Nora on this one, but that was expecting too much.
