Yup, realized I didn't read these in order, but besides some mentions of previous cases (that became clear, once I read said "case" ROFL!) the books are standalones. Still not sure if I want to read more, but maybe I'll borrow one that should be edited and ready for print and see if I can get into them more. The books could be great, but somehow fall short of their potential.
As the last book available from the series closes on another twisted case, I have to wonder and hope that the inconsistencies throughout the books, is because the final edit hasn't been done. The storylines, the twists, the premise all point to a great imagination, but the characters are not fleshed out and makes the books shallow, there seems an unending string of clues that are not explained and the ending is abrupt. Still, I couldn't put it down, wanting to know where it all leads, who did it and why. So, yeah...... Good read, with some second thoughts.
