Welcome! What did you think of the Joanna Campbell Slan mysteries? I read the first dozen or so and really liked them but lost track of the series. Think I should pick it back up?

Yes. I really like the way she develops the characters and the way they grow. I feel like it keeps them from getting stale. And they deal with real-life problems as well.
