I am an avid fan of the book series. They are very well written and their strength is the complete development of the characters. That character development is sorely missing in the 3 Pines series. Realizing that it is harder to do on screen than in a book, I will continue to watch. Instead of trying to wrap up a new mystery in 2 tidy episodes...I would love to see the producers allow the audience to become residents of 3 Pines the way that Louise Penny makes that happen in her novels. Let us spend some time getting to know the residents there.

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of the Outlander series. I have read the series through 3 times cover to cover and have re-read favorite passages several more times. I did a cover to cover re-read in anticipation of the release of "Bees". To date, my least favorite books in this series are The Fiery Cross and Go tell the bees that I have gone. My issue with The Fiery Cross is the deep dive into the minutiae of history. My issue with "Bees" is the deep dive into characters and everyday life. Diana's best books in the series balance these and interject a lot of suspense and action into the plot as well. I still thoroughly enjoy the characters and Diana's writing style...I was entertained. I did take almost a month to read the book, so it wasn't the page turner that most of the Outlander series have been. I did enjoy the book, but I was missing the excitement.
