I had not rushed to buy this book, after her last awful attempt. I'm seriously shocked by your comment about the sex! For JPW to even mention sex is a surprise. I think this was one of the major problems with her other books. She had Peter away for huge periods (I think because she can't write him very well, she never has his voice or mannerisms right for me) and when he came home there was hardly a mention of a kiss, let alone secksy times, between him and Harriet. DS's Peter and Harriet were extremely sexy, full of UST and burning sizzling chemistry. I always pictured JPW as a little old prudish church-going lady who couldn't bring herself to write such things.
