I love this series. In fact, except for a couple of Christie's, it is my favorite mystery. The characters are interesting as are the mysteries. Even though these books are out of print, I highly recommend tracking them down.

The books change voice every other chapter, between Lydia Ann (law clerk to defense attorney John Lloyd Branson) and Sgt. Larry Jenner (traffic cop unwillingly pulled into helping Special Crimes Investigator Schroder). Their bosses are both larger than life and natural adversaries. Even characters that won't be around long seem very fleshed out.

There's not a lot I can say about the plot without giving away spoilers. This story is about the Steele family and a traffic accident that turns out to be more than it seems.
