I chose this book (free in return for a review) because my mom had read another book by this author and really enjoyed it.  I liked getting three books in one - having them all at once let me read them one right after the other so I remembered the characters and didn't have to spend a lot of time getting reacquainted.  I love the bits of trivia gleaned while reading these books - from movies or songs and even history.  The style of the first book, Forgiving Solomon Long, was written in an interesting style - the first sentences of each chapter letting you know the quick and immediate setting and also written from each character's perspective.  I also loved reading a book meant for adults with the author intelligent enough to create interesting and even dark characters and settings without resorting to swearing and other "easy" words.  The stories were interesting - maybe not enough for me to leave my toddler alone unattended to read, but certainly I was willing to stay up later than usual to finish a book.
