I suppose it depends on whether the author can pull it, as Rob Parker appears to have done here.Prashant C.

I may not read them this year or until later in the year because I have a goal not to start new series by new authors this year. You know, trying to whittle down the TBR pile. But this series sounds promising. We will see.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-47607160609643251282020-01-25T12:29:30.161-08:002020-01-25T12:29:30.161-08:00Col – Fast paced and the right length appeals to m...Col – Fast paced and the right length appeals to me.

I think that's more realistic. Sounds like a nicely murky case, too - glad you enjoyed it.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
