I wasn't as taken with the earlier books. The history aspect is the main draw for me to this series--although I also really like the side stories she adds about other cases being worked on either by her or her coworkers.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-5273683114131156052015-03-09T11:36:42.440-07:002015-03-09T11:36:42.440-07:00Melody - I don't think I would count this seri...Melody - I don't think I would count this series as a favorite, but I do enjoy the books. There's something about them that keeps me coming back. :-) If you do decide to give the series a try, I hope you like it!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-38070608709404230782015-03-09T11:35:27.162-07:002015-03-09T11:35:27.162-07:00Nise' - I go back and forth on Mike.

One thing I always enjoy is her ability to incorporate the history of so many interesting NY landmarks.

I never got back to it, but I've been intrigued by the New York bits that Linda Fairstein includes in the books. Long running series now. Perhaps one day I'll begin it again. Nice reviews.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.com
