I didn't make it through T either. That might be the last one I tried.

I liked early Paretsky, but not her later ones either.

I should also say that it is rare for me to read more than 3 in any series and in a lot of series, I only read the first. Or sometimes I read book 2 because it's what I come across first.

Grafton could really have advanced that series by delving into the character's upbringing, but all she ever did was hint at it. And yes, she never advanced with the times. But there are so many good series out there. No point in wasting time on those that don't work out.
