That's what makes horse racing! I like Susan Silverman. She is the quintessential Jewish American Princess. Having been married to two of them, I can really relate. I wouldn't fall in love with her, but I appreciate her role in the series. I like the way all the characters gather together to protect her when needed. But I do agree that Hawk is a much more interesting character with a more deeply developed, if strange, sense of right and wrong.

Agree with everything you just said, apart from being married to two Jewish American Princesses. I reread the whole series back-to-back a couple of years ago, and will probably do so again in a couple of years. I'd love to be finding them for the first time, however.

Reading an early Harlan Coben, Miracle Cure (published 1991). Not up to his more recent standard - a lot of the dialogue and diatribes are heavy-handed and OTT, but it's still not a bad read.
