This is such a great series and while the books can be read as standalones I think they work better read in order so you get to see the character development. The whole team is lovable, well minus detective douchebag. There is the perfect amount of the characters personal lives that doesn't distract you from the investigation but helps you connect with the team. I need to know more about Turner and his past though. I have a feeling it'll be juicy.

As for the investigation, it's packed full of twists and turns that kept me guessing. I had no idea who the bad guy was or what was coming next. The tension is kept up all the way to the dramatic ending. If you are looking for a thrilling crime series then definitely check this one out because all 21 books are as good as the first.
