I liked it but three installments is enough for me for now! I may return to Detective Martinez and Porcupine County in the future. The action is well written, the interior life of the protagonist is interesting. Humor doesn't drive the stories, but made it could more. The setting is wonderful. The female characters are a bit cardboard/stereotypical but at least there are as many types of women on parade as there are men . The author creates quite a milieu up north.
