4.0 out of 5 stars Good Series - Deserves More Readers, February 12, 2001
By 
This review is from: Casanova Crimes (Seventh in the Quirky Elena Jarvis Mystery Series) (Paperback)
In this outing, Elena Jarvis, a detective in the Crimes Against Persons squad of the Los Santos Police Department, catches the investigation of the murder by poison of the Hobart University casanova. There are lots of suspects with lots of motives, and Jarvis must narrow the field down to just one. This is an under-read series that deserves a wider audience. If you like your mysteries both cozy and procedural, this is the series for you. The author has well-drawn characters, a strong detective with smarts and savvy, and plots to keep you guessing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing plot with interesting characters, March 28, 2000
This review is from: Casanova Crimes (Seventh in the Quirky Elena Jarvis Mystery Series) (Paperback)
While I usually begin a mystery series with book number one, I picked up Casanova Crimes out of curiosity. I found it completely enjoyable. It's not great literature, but there's interesting characters that we get to know outside of their immediate plot involvement, an intriguing crime with plenty of suspects, and an ending I really didn't anticipate. Elena Jarvis, the detective-star, is likeable, easy to relate to, and has a believable mix of qualities for a far-West-Texas character. The university and one of the professors in the story are somewhat on the edge of believability, but a little suspension of disbelief will suffice to get you through it. It's recommended light reading. I have purchased another in the series already.

4.0 out of 5 stars Final Book?, March 7, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Casanova Crimes (Seventh in the Quirky Elena Jarvis Mystery Series) (Paperback)
While I enjoyed every book in the Elaina Jarvis series, Casanova Crimes was the best of the bunch. However, there have been no further titles. Is this the final instalment in the series?
