I read a couple of the books Dick Francis wrote with his son, and they seemed off. Something in the tone felt wrong, so I stopped reading them.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Robert B. Parker (of the Spencer mysteries) finished "Poodle Springs".
