An enjoyable PI series
Each book is a new case. The characters are interesting Dave being the main one whose life\story we follow. Although no outright conclusion at the end of this series, for some bizarre reason it does not bother me as it normally would. I may not be selling this well, but I if you want a series that (imho) has the right mix of whodunit, relationships and is not what I call fluffy then give this a try.

Commentaire sur la série des douze romans Dave Brandstetter
J'ai lu à la suite les douze livres de la série, et j'ai adoré. Profondeur des personnages, complexité, et logique, de l'intrigue, toujours très bien ficelée. Bien sûr, sur l'ensemble, on retrouve des points communs sur la trame des différents romans, en particulier dans chaque roman la présence sur les lieux du crimes peu avant, pendant, ou peu après, de tout un tas de protagonistes, qui tous ont un intérêt dans la mort de la victime. Je recommande vivement, et si chaque roman peut être lu indépendamment, c'est quand même mieux de les lire dans l'ordre.

Disappointing
Poorly formatted as an ebook. Mystery was not as compelling as some of his earlier ones. You didn't really care too much why who did what.
