Now reading Death at Victoria Dock. Another new character, and lots of action.
Finished Death at Victoria Dock, and also The Green Mill Murder, #5 in the series. Next up is Blood and CircusesThis one has some differences from the TV series (they all do to one extent or another), since the only police Constable in the series is Constable Collins.

This is really the first time I've re-read this series, and I must say it holds up well. Ms. Greenwood sometimes has a bit of a problem with her endings, and tidying up all the loose ends can tend towards a bit forced, but that's really the only structural flaw. And the books are just such fun to read that I can't complain too loudly. A Highly Recommended series. (And, for those who prefer or at least enjoy audio books, the Audible versions of these are very well done and read by Stephanie Daniel.)
