Inelegant. That goes a long way toward explaining something I couldn't quite put my finger on about Grafton's yarns.
In my case, though - and I don't know, it may be my male perspective as a reader - I sort of stopped paying attention to Kinsey and Henry and Rosie quite a number of stories ago, as their interactions seem pretty set (though with perturbations here and there).
I'm starting to think I'm turning the pages because, in effect, Grafton has done a lot of careful setup to arrange a train wreck for the reader to see, and now that I'm sure it's going to happen, I'm sticking around to see how it happens.
It's almost as if watching it actually happen, and finding out what happens in the aftermath aren't important. Yet.
