I skipped the intervening 6 books in the series because I saw this in the library and needed a filler read while I waited for a few of the dozens of books I have on hold to arrive. A few pages in and I’m hooked. And thanks to an opening flashback, I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything (authors: not a good idea if you want readers to invest in your backlist!)

Ooo thanks for this sweet tip! I’ve loved other stand-alone books by this author and am eager to dive into another. But I don’t have the patience for a series at the moment.

A series of three I can do, but not 7 and soon-to-be 8! I'd never catch up.
The other books leading up this are good!
