it's a dark series, as befits a realistic one about a guy who
solves murders. but you've never demonstrated a
propensity to end a book on a note of utter hopelessness and

both satisfying for him as well as your readers
2012 will be here before you know it

you considering starting another series? Mickey Haller
seems like a character that you could sustain, and visa versa
