Is Rosamunde Pilcher aimed at a particular age group or demographic ?

Listening to one of her audiobooks ‘Winter Solstice’. Really enjoying it as a nice relaxing listen but probably only a 1/4 of the way through.
I’m mid 50s but it seems to be written in a quaint style more for folk a bit older than me. Almost twee but that’s probably not the right word to be honest and I’m wondering whether it’s the reader’s diction rather than the actual book. Normally I read/listen to psychological thrillers by authors like Lisa Jewell, Louise Candlish and Sophie Hannah so very much less cosy and far more gritty ! I guess it’s essentially the trials and tribulations of stinking rich folk, gentile types fallen on hard times and the working class salt of the earth. Are all her books like this ?

Is she the literary equivalent to Midsommer Murders or Rosemary and Thyme?
What Charlie Brooker referred to as the Mimsy Squad?!
Inexplicably popular in Germany for reasons I can't quite fathom.
But they still watch Dinner For One every New Year, so I'll never understand them.

The detective equivalent of Rosamund Pilcher is Hazel Holt’s Mrs Malory who solves crimes in between baking for the WI, walking the dog and being treasurer of the Art society in a small town in Devon. I love her.

Maybe I should cast aside my cynicism and take a look. I could do with a comfort read. Perhaps Mrs Mallory will fit the bill, thank you best

First read Coming Home in my early teens after watching it at my Grandma's house.

I love that book. I'm sure I've read some of her others, but they haven't stayed with me.

Joanna Trollope is another writer for ladies of a certain type.
I find her very AGA-centric…

Winter Solstice is the worst one.

Enjoyed The Shellseekers and Coming Home tho.

You have nothing to say about the male character Oscar, marrying his first wife, a very wealthy widow just weeks after her first husband's funeral. Bit sexist there.

I loved Coming Home as a teenager and often reread it, I don't find it at all twee - it's pretty gritty at times in depicting the horrors of war. I agree that Winter Solstice and the 'modern-day' parts of The Shell Seekers can feel a bit dated - I think, like most writers, she's better at writing young people who were contemporaneous with her own youth.
And men do tend to remarry quickly after becoming widowed! It's a recognised phenomenon.
