They're often a little too feminist for my taste, but at the same time, I love Russell and Holmes and can't stop reading them. <br /><br />I read the first few out of order myself, then went back and read them in the correct order, so I've read the first I think 3 more often than the others.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-59731573823815018182015-05-09T15:53:43.639-04:002015-05-09T15:53:43.639-04:00I've rather gotten hooked on this series mysel...I've rather gotten hooked on this series myself :) I'm trying to read them in order, but the library isn't really working with me on that because the next book is always on hold somewhere else...and then I cave and get the next book that's available, even if it isn't the next in the series.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm not usually a fan of books with Sherlock Holmes in them that *aren't* the originals, but these are kind of addictive...Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463147465564735374noreply@blogger.com
