I read and reviewed the three books collected here separately, so this is basically for my own records. I rated them all as three stars, so the collected rating is (easily) the same. Looking at them as a group, I think I'm struck most by two things. The first is that, as the books go on, I'm increasingly seeing them as straight mysteries, rather than a combo of mystery and thriller. The second is how interested I am in Kinsey. I'm not extraordinarily compelled by her, to be honest, and it may just be a function of having spent three books with her now rather than one, but I was largely indifferent to her in the first book. In each subsequent volume, however, I like her a little more. I suspect that Grafton was simply improving as a writer as she wrote the series, and the character work gets better as a result. If the trend continues, I look forward to liking the protagonist even more in the future!
