Your review makes me want to run out and find the other two books and read them asap! They do sound good. <br /><br />London is good for any setting! lol It's my favourite big city, and I often think it is a character unto itself, it looms so large in the world.

Bombproof features one of the series characters, however, I am not sure it is actually part of the series. I got the impression it was purely a stand alone.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-28750224682395178002014-03-25T10:07:03.225-07:002014-03-25T10:07:03.225-07:00Tracy - I like what I've read so far of his bo...Tracy - I like what I've read so far of his books. They are entertaining mystery thrillers. I understand wanting to skip Say You're Sorry. It's not a subject matter that will appeal to everyone.

I know I read one of his books but I definitely would like to try this series.
