I first read this author because amazon had her on my recommend list. I have continued to buy her because Amazon was right! Mrs. Griffin's writing will leave you dying for more every time. I bought all three books separately, but think this is a wonderful way for the first time reader to give it a try. The fourth and newest book in the series isCold Moon Dead (Book 4 Esposito Series)In book one we meet Vinnie after the death of her beloved aunt, who along with her mother has been the positive force in her life. We are also introduce to  two male leads who will play pivotal roles not only in book one but also in the following books. The males are a hunky state trooper with attitude and a FBI agent, recovering from a bad case and relationship from hell. We also meet Vinnie's eccentric and hilarious to say the least relatives. Including a dad who wants her to be a "lady" and settle down. This book will have you reaching for the tissue as you both sympathize with her and laugh out loud at the trouble she manages to get into.In book two we see more of Vinnie's family and watch the changes in her relationship with the two leads. We also meet her aunt who only dates mobsters, learn more about both her dad's past and FBI agent Aaron's past as well.In book three we hit the holidays and finally get to meet the much alluded to "Saint" Giovanni, her brother who became a doctor.  I loved this book so much I read it twice! I loved Vinnie's emotional growth the most in this book. Anyone with siblings or really close family will be able to empathize with her as she tries to recover from a injury, work, date and keep her "saintly" brother and his wife out of jail! This book will have you laughing until you cry and even screaming right along with her as she ask "why me?".I have confidence that anyone who loves a good mystery and don't mind a touch of romance will fall head over heels for this series.Happy reading!
