The only thing I am not sure about is that some of the books feature the inspector's son, Dominic, as much as the inspector or more. But I plan to try more and see what I think.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-52001910225526611632014-01-01T21:00:49.720+00:002014-01-01T21:00:49.720+00:00I don't know the George Felse books, I'll ...I don't know the George Felse books, I'll have to go and look them up.

I am more interested in reading more of the George Felse series, so will skip this one. But nice to know she wrote some standalone books.
