But when there isn't, I don't mind just jumping in. This is such a terrific book, I'd say, don't put it off.

I'm usually reluctant to read a series out of order, though, even if you say it's not necessary to read them sequentially. I'm just compulsive that way!Kelly Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752857506190488860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-59527973854367248202014-10-22T17:39:17.066-04:002014-10-22T17:39:17.066-04:00Read THE VERGE PRACTICE. :)Read THE VERGE PRACTICE. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-79462712942654073522014-10-21T22:26:46.618-04:002014-10-21T22:26:46.618-04:00Oaky, this and HOUSE OF SILK both came from the li...Oaky, this and HOUSE OF SILK both came from the library today.

We're having Indian Summer late in the day and NOT appreciated by those of us who love a good chilly Autumn day. <br /><br />Let us know how you like the book, if you like it. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-89363358294627290502014-10-17T13:28:45.317-04:002014-10-17T13:28:45.317-04:00I wasn't too impressed with THE MARX SISTERS, ...I wasn't too impressed with THE MARX SISTERS, Sergio. So I'd begin with THE MALCONTENTA, the second in the series. But who knows, you may like the first one (I'm in the minority with not appreciating as much as others did). But still I'd read THE VERGE PRACTICE and SILVERMEADOW right after that second book. Those are my favorite three so far. But I'll be reading the rest little by little as I go along. Hope to finish them all by the end of the year. Boy, I love a good detective series. Nothing like it. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-52770634569013164712014-10-17T11:00:42.054-04:002014-10-17T11:00:42.054-04:00New author and series to me and sounds terrific, s...New author and series to me and sounds terrific, so I've put a hold on it at the library. Now I have to hurry to read the other three I already have checked out, including two by Bill Crider.<br /><br />It is now chilly indeed, and quite rainy, here in Portland OR so this will be just right.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-48987026216207429242014-10-17T03:14:48.380-04:002014-10-17T03:14:48.380-04:00Well I'm completely sold Yvette - sounds like ...Well I'm completely sold Yvette - sounds like it might be worth starting earlier on in the series though if they're all good - is MARX SISTERS the first?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
