Englishman55: Nope... never read any of those and don't intend too... too much fictional blood and guts...
Nothing like the real thing ... so Whinnie the Pooh for me.
I would like to feel free to comment, but the straight jacket was not tailored for me !

no blood and guts not gory at all
they are murder mysteries and a vampire series ((vamps and a lot of sex))
they are just fun to read is all
right now i am reading the biography and works of William Faulkner for a research paper
