Probably fair to say it wasn't the books, it was me

With that said, this is a very popular series, and the first few titles won/were finalists for a bunch of awards.

Hopefully someone who has read more of them, or more recently, can also comment.

Thanks for info.

In checking, what initially got my attention is that they appear to have a bit of PI hard-boiled feel to them, which is something I'm always interested in.

I may have to buy that first one in order to see if I'll like it
