I loved all the New York books, when this was my favorite
series, and to me somehow all the grittiness dissolved when
the series moved to California. I read only one or two of
those that took place after the move, and if anyone
recommends any of these later books, I'd be interested,
too.
My recommendation is any of the books
that take place in New York.
