These books are great for the purposes of rest and relaxation. However, don’t put too much thought into them because frustration will ensue. Much of the pieces of the crime that takes place never end up fitting or making sense when the book is pulled together at the end and the book seems to follow a very simple formula. I will say that if you are able to overlook these things, the characters are enjoyable and fun and the story lines are creative.
This set of stories was fun to read. Strong characters witch adds to the drama. Very well written with all the ingredients for a continuing series. I recommend.
