I wonder what they'd be classified if they were written today? (Like the Sherlock Holmes miniseries on PBS).

With that in mind, I just finished John Sanford's latest in the 'Virgil Flowers' series. Another great spin-off series from his 'Prey' series, there is good mystery but even better character studies, and always bringing back people from the Prey series as Virgil works for Lucas Davenport in Minnesota's BCA. All the fun folk that worked together for Lucas find themselves helping Virgil, but not so much as to make you think it's one of the Prey books. This new series is definately on it's own, and worth following if you love a good mystery that adds fun into the mix!
