For the most part, when it comes to this list, I try to not
post if I can't say something nice so it is with apologies
that I say that I have zero interest in the Burglar series
and the Hitman series bored me midway throug the second
book.
That said, I love the Scudder series and could never pick
just one. Some are better than others, yes, but I stil I see
them as one long episodic book that never ends.
p.s. If you had to choose a standalone, then Small Town is
worth considering. It is very much a post 9/11 novel, so many
of the themes it brings up may not register with you as
strongly as they hit me when it first came out.
