Review: Fun to read!

I thought this set of five books was a real bargain, and I enjoyed all of them.  If you're looking for something with a lot of depth and complicated plots, these probably won't be the books for you.  But if you just like a light mystery with a little romance thrown in, you'll have fun reading these.  Maddie Springer does remind me a lot of Stephanie Plum, and the supporting characters are pretty funny.  It's true that there are a lot of stereotypes in those characters, but I could overlook that.  I loved Jack Ramirez (a lot like Stephanie Plum's Ranger and Morelli) and the relationship Maddie developed with him.  (She's lucky he didn't drop her like a hot potato, though, considering how much trouble she was always making!)For me, the negative aspect of this Kindle version (and the reason I only gave the series four stars) was the terrible editing.  I' ve found that to be true of many of my Kindle titles, and I suppose I should get used to it, but it seems that there should be someone who can put these titles in a Kindle format and not make dozens of errors.  For example, on one single page, the name Gisella was spelled three different ways.  I thought the editor wasn't sure what was correct and tried different spellings, thinking that maybe one of them would be right.  There were other spelling errors too, as well as punctuation and other grammar mistakes.  But errors aside, these were fun books to read.
