I used to be an avid reader of the Sisters in Crime authors. I still would be if they would write more prolifically. Sara Paretsky and Nancy Pickard had glutted the market, publishing frequently and I would devour all their work avidly.

Sara Paretsky slowed down to a book every three or four years. Nancy Pickard has all but quit the Jenny Cain series. I was able to find this last installment in a second hand store.

I miss Jenny Cain and the cozy little town of Portsmouth and their very waspy, Puritanical do-gooding. I had forgotten what a smarmy baddie old Pete Falwell was along with his scheming political ally Ardyth Kennedy. It was a bittersweet visit, knowing there are no more books but it was nice to see the townfolk again.
