I enjoyed these just as much as my first Bauer novel, Darkside, last year. The author has such a wonderfully poetic turn of phrase combined with a hilariously dry and dark thread of humour running through the narrative, but is light on gore. Add intriguing characters you always want to root for, even when they do the wrong thing, and you have the perfect combination. I also enjoy the thread of characters continuing to have a presence in all three books.
