Answer: Yes I do and I'm already halfway through Coffin Dancer as I write this.

Admittedly I keep picturing Denzel & Angelina as Rhyme & Sachs and wish there'd been more movies made but the writing is 5 stars for me for this kind ...more

Good start to the series. I have read some books later in the series, so I was a bit impatient about Rhymes and Sachs relationship but that is my fault. Perhaps I thought the investigators jumped to a bunch of conclusions and the ending seemed fast. I did not figure out the killer in advance, I thought I knew, but then the story twisted.
