I have this entire series in hardcover (except for the last one, yet!) This is a series that I read again everytime a new one comes out. I have gladly payed $20+ for each one, and would gladly pay much more than the Kindle price just to have them so handy!! They are a combination mystery/comedy/action :) a little of everything

They take place mostly in the countryside around Charlottesville, Va. Shenandoah river, Gordonsville, Stanardsville... Since I vacation there fairly regularly I am a little familiar with the towns and places named in the books. That makes them even more interesting.

I recommend these to just about anyone. They are very definately "family" rated:) Anyone who is a Stephanie Plum fan (or who was, but is getting tired of the same gags in everybook!) will probably love these. That was my thought when I first read "A Crying Shame", the first in the series. Since then I have decided that Jesse is much more real, and has grown with each book. Still funny, still getting into all kinds of scrapes - but they are all still believable. Each book is like catching up with old friends, and I am always sorry when I reach the end of the story. Every book in the series seems to introduce us to someone new, and this one is no exception. There is a fairly large cast of continuing characters throughout the series, and somehow Ann Mullen makes them all very real. Each book in the series could be read as a standalone - but I cant imagine just wanting to read one.
