More often than not I find the same improvement in a series.Bill Selneshttp://mysteriesandmore.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-86278220445733249132011-10-02T09:21:44.624-06:002011-10-02T09:21:44.624-06:00Margot: Thank you for the comment.

That may just be me, though, I rarely like the first in a series as much as the later volumes so perhaps I just have to know the characters first to really appreciate a series.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-71262839024773674202011-10-02T06:51:19.653-06:002011-10-02T06:51:19.653-06:00Bill - Interesting question of whether this is a l...Bill - Interesting question of whether this is a legal mystery...I'm so glad you liked this book. I very much did myself. I do like Thóra's character quite a lot, and she faces realistic struggles both on the home front and in the investigation of this case. Another thing I really liked about this novel is the humour. There's a fine, rich sense of humour that just weaves its way through the story and lightens it just the right amount (for me).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
