I won't be the first long-time Amanda Quick (Jayne Ann Krentz) fan to voice her disappointment that one of my favorite authors is just 'going through the motions' in her latest release.

True Grace: The Life and Times of an American Princess
| Author | Wendy Leigh |
| ISBN | 0312342365 |
This is the worst biography I have ever read and the most disappointing book I've read in a long time. Leigh seems obsessed with Grace's romantic life and spends more time trying to root out scandal than conveying meaningful information about Grace Kelly's personality and character. The writing was...
