Danielle Steelhas been hailed as one of the world’s bestselling authors, with a billion copies of her novels sold. Selling the house, along with all the memories that live in its walls, feels like yet another devastating loss. I do believe this author has potential, because something about the writing seemed like it could be interesting, I just wish there was an interesting plot as well. Her many international bestsellers include All That Glitters, Royal, Daddy’s Girls, The Wedding Dress, The Numbers Game, Moral Compass, Spy, and other highly acclaimed novels.

I am not a DS diehard fan but the premises of this book interested me enough to give it a listen and it was highly rated on Goodreads. They are realistic, relatable, and likeable (with the exception of one that is severely emotionally damaged). But in the course of a year, all find amazing partners in love and their professional lives become wonderful and cue the flowers and happy music.To the best of my knowledge, real people don't all act this way; of course, if you were to inherit a 100 million-dollar house and the financial means to back it up, had five siblings that are always there for you. The worst you ever had to put upon with was a brother who is Autistic/on the spectrum, a young sister (21 years old) who is living her life to the fullest and becomes pregnant out of wedlock and had to go through a divorce from a bitch of a wife I might have had more empathy for these characters. The parents had asked that the mansion be sold for profit after their death, but what if the siblings want to keep and maintain their childhood home? Her new book, The Whittiers, appealed to me as it is about family dynamics and dealing with the unexpected. Preston and Connie Whittier have spent their lives in successful lucrative careers and raising their six children.
