Great startup to the story and world. Artwork is simple and gets you involved in the characters. I can see why it's a popular series.

It is great to read a little more about each of the characters we will be encountering in the series and how their abilities develop and what they are. Each character is so unique and interesting and I would love to see the outcome of this series.  An enjoyable, well written and quick read with characters you can't help but relate to and feel their pain and confusion.

I really liked the characters, but the story although sometimes very interesting was not consistently so.  I did choose to read all four books, because the characters were so well developed, I was drawn in and wanted to see what happened.

I have been reading this series and even though it's a slow go as far as getting involved in the story , it gives you  just enough to make you want to finish the books.

Nice narrative, interesting characters, not a demanding or misleading mystery.  Part of a series about the main character, but it's possibled to read these in any order and still enjoy the one in hand.

I like the way the characters are revealed. The in depth look into the minds of the characters puts you in the story as a reader. The book is written in an easy to understand way to allow the reader to keep turning the pages.

I felt that the characters were well formed and had some depth.  I don't like to say too much in my reviews because I pass over the reviews with a lot of detail as I don't want a synopsis - just a general idea if the books is worth reading.  I think that this is a great book if you like to try and solve the cases (I do).  The material clues are given, there is enough suspicion to go around to all the characters, and I the reporter and detective individually as well as their association.  I settled into this book a little more than the past few books I've read which to me indicates an author who can draw you into the story.

A good insight into the character's life, if one gets.over the beginning. Good glimpses of humor and good storytelling throughout

Interesting way to introduce characters in a series as well as point a picture of what Basset Hounds are like. I love dogs but never thought of having a Basset Hound,, until now.

It's fun to read about characters that you've come to know from previous books.. The adventures that they share are entertaining and somewhat educational.  I look forward to new material when it becomes available.

It's great getting to know new characters while the beloved old ones remain in the background.  This book reminded me a little of Steve Berry's style, referencing, in a fictional manner, certain "real" historical topics.  I really enjoyed.

One of the best aspect of the books is the character development.  It is the type of book that you can read pretty quickly, as the characters tend to hold your interest.

This book is a lot of fun, especially if you (like me) enjoyed the characters of Episode 1 and felt like you didn't get to know them as well as you would like.

I enjoyed this book and looking forward to more. Got some insights on the characters I didn't get from the series.
