Maybe I could use this for a mystery group selection at Books & Company. Bev DeWeese is a huge fan of Gruber and regularly suggests his work for a Cloak & Clue program.

But if that bothers you, try VALLEY OF BONES. I consider it the best of the three books. There's violence, but of the more conventional variety.

It's complex, but well worth the investment of time and patience. If you’re looking for something completely different, Terrie, try TROPIC OF NIGHT out.

Reading the books is a taxing experience. Gruber doesn't make it easy on the reader, but the final pages of each book left me drained. This is one of the best trilogies of the 21st Century!

Since for me reading is recreation and fun, and that's not a recreational or fun topic, I won't be reading this even if it's well written.

I've read TROPIC OF NIGHT and VALLEY OF BONES but wasn't in the mood when I started book three, so put it aside for later. The other relevant things to mention: the series takes place in Miami and Jimmy's mother... well, they'll have to read the books! I did, George!
