I have now read all three books in this series and enjoyed all of them. I particularly liked Blood Evidence. I was easily caught up in Nita's problems and wondering how she would resolve them. The crimes that the team was investigating was interesting also. The action sequences were exciting as well. I hope that Mr. Odom returns to the series someday.
