I loved the movie. Not sure why I never thought about trying the book!?

My wife owns the entire audiobook series, and I've enjoyed several of them. I prefer the ones that are more mystery/police procedural and less heavy on the romance. I never even thought of them being in this category I'm asking about, but I guess they are. My tastes are awfully consistent, it seems.
I'll have to try a few more.
