" Initially I enjoyed this series, partly due to it taking place in the Bay Area; I enjoyed recognizing local landmarks. However, this series has gotten progressively absurd. Every crime that takes place in this series has to link to at least one character in some way and it's become more and more outlandish. I would think that the characters being a police officer in Homicide, the Chief Medical Examiner, a reporter, and a top district attorney would be enough to connect them to the crimes, but apparently not. Every crime needs to connect to them on a personal level. If there is a hospital that people are dying in then someone they know and love has to end up there and become another victim. It's getting old. I'm thinking I might stop reading this series and stick with his Alex Cross series. It has its own issues, but it is better than this. "

— Ruthie, 5/19/2011" Not bad for a free book, though it suffered from not having read the 6 previous novels.<br/><br/>The case itself was interesting and the writing's pretty good. There are some moments of gender fail that made me wince, however - consider yourself warned. (I've seen worse, but...) "
