It's been awhile since I read a mystery series since I'm used to being disappointed by transparent story lines and boring characters.  I decided to take a chance on the Sarah Woods series after reading the good reviews.  I was hooked on the series after reading the first book, and was pleasantly surprised when the second and third books were just as good.  I don't want to spoil anything, but the plot twists and motivations were pretty unexpected making each book an actual, legitimate, mystery novel.The dialogue in all three books was extremely well written and helped move the plot along at a nice pace.  I was never tempted to skim through the book because I was always worried that I would miss a vital conversation since every character interaction had a point.  Also, I just plain loved Sarah Woods.  It was nice to find a series that featured a heroine (middle aged, long married, professional woman) who I could actually relate with.  Having plots revolving around well written and carefully developed characters made it easier to become engrossed with the story because I actually cared about what happened to them.
