I like the series pretty much, but I find each book to be awfully weak. The characters are likeable, with great backstories and amusing idiosyncracies; the plots are pretty good; the action riveting. But each book leaves me feeling unsatisfied. It's hard to pinpoint it.
And I will note that although she calls this a "K-9" series, or at least her publisher does, the dog doesn't really play all that much of a role in the investigation. It's there, but it doesn't seem to be all that well-trained or important to the solving of a mystery. Lucy is nice to have around but never does much of importance other than to growl at people she doesn't like or have amusing battles with the cat.
I'll go on reading them. But not as happily as I'd like to.
