What's the first book in the series Lilmac? I'll see if I can track it down, I hate reading series out of order.

I've got one of these, I can't remember which one but I'll start it when I finish the book I'm reading.

I'm not sure which one I got but I think its one of the earlier ones, I checked in the front of the book. Its the one where the female cop was killed the the stairwell of her apartment block.

Its not bad, not something I'm devouring but an enjoyable read. Much better than her Nora Roberts stuff but so far I don't see any Castle in it. It doesn't have any humour that I've found but as I said it is the first one I've read.
