Sandi’s comments from the Books in a series group.

Yeah, the Hunger Games was a fast-paced adventure, but the second book was so clearly just a bridge to the third book, which had that horrible tacked-on afterthought of an ending.

I recommend Lisa Lutz's The Spellman Files (so far the first in a four book series; the fifth installment is scheduled for March). The main character is an adult private detective named Izzy Spellman, whose parents own the detective agency. Every one in her family is slightly dysfunctional but loveable. These books are laugh-out-loud funny.

The Jasper Fforde Eyre Affair series started off awesome; it's about Tuesday Next, a time-traveling detective who solves issues with some help from ficitonal characters from the classics. However, I suspect the author must be under too much pressure to crank one out every year or so; the last offering was so bad I couldn't bring myself to buy it. But the four previous were great.
