I was looking for a series like the Stephine Plum series. I found Nancy Bartholmew's "sierra" and feel this is BETTER then Stephanie Plum. Sierra needs help but can also take care of her self, whereas Stephanie has become somewhat weak as time goes on. The "stripper" character , I feel , is totally believable .The mystery is also written better, there is actually a mystery. Granted shes not an Agatha Christi, it is still an easy read, but enjoyable.Unfortunately, St. Martins, the publisher, didn't choose to continue the series and they hold the rights to the Strip series.Please WRITE ST.MARTINS and beg them to bring this series back!
