Review: Couldn't finish it.

It starts out with a great premise that hooks the reader. But it bogs down with borrowing P.L. Travers character 'Mary Poppins". When the story line asserts that Mr. Banks, another Travers character, has been placed in a mental institution, I gave up. I've never been a fan of new writers riding on the shirt tails of established authors. It doesn't seem fair (or legal) to warp beloved characters in order to sell their work.Hayes can write well enough. She needs to stick with her own plots and characters and not borrow from others.
