I could only get through the first chapter. I stand by my characterization of her poetry as something only a Vogon could love. Of course, bland writing isn't necessarily so bad for a transactional lawyer. If her credit agreements are as formulaic, predictable, and boring as her fiction, she may well be in the right job.

My advice would be to stick to stick to law. Its two dimensional, one paced and rather shapeless, to say the least. For anyone in the know, one of the 'characters' (or perhaps, cardboard cutout is a more appropriate term) - Simon Rider - is based on a fairly prominent partner at Allen & Overy (the love of horses, commuting from London due to family commitments, avoidance of alcohol fuelled occaisions and rather arrogant/pompous manor bestowed on the chap - grossly unfair in many respects to those who know him - give the game away). Perhaps prostitution would be a good move for Dare, since law is a bore and the ability to write a good noval is clearly beyond her. I have read Dare's prose.
