So if anyone wants to read this series book one is almost horrible but after that it gets sooo much better and I breezed through the next two books but I am taking a break before reading book 4. I agree with the person who said reading them back to back is not a good idea and they are pretty much the same formula.

Eve hitting Roarke is addressed in several in the books. It doesn't bother me at all in rereads. Also, the mysteries do vary. Sometimes we get the killer's POV, sometimes we know who the killer is from the get go and it's more a procedural-type of book as to how Eve & co catch them. But some are a guessing game. I think many of the later books do have better mysteries than the earlier ones.

I am wondering what you will think of this in the end. I won't say any more until you've had a chance to finish.
