Seven books in, and what keeps me returning is no longer simply the wonderfully evocative New York setting, nor the promise of a well-led investigation, but the pleasure of following a heroine who has genuinely changed since our first acquaintance.
Francesca can still be thoughtless and dangerously impulsive, but I no longer find myself wishing someone would confiscate her detective ambitions and send her home. Most of the time, anyway.
The romantic complications, however, are testing my patience in quite another fashion. I am firmly, irrevocably Team Calder, and Francesca's continuing uncertainty is doing nothing to improve my opinion of her judgement in that particular department.
