I read maybe the first 5 or 6 books in that series then I got kind of bored with it

After that I got into the Doc Ford novels by Randy Wayne Wright and liked those better.  I'm working my way through them:  https://www.fantasticfiction.com/w/randy-wayne-white/doc-ford/

I started with the Quin Colson books by Ace Atkins ,which I liked better, then started on the Charles Box series.

Dangerous Rhythms - Nice bit of writing on the the history of the Mob, Night Clubs, Jazz and how they all intertwined for decades. 

Also starting this -

.

It's a prequel and post novelization of the movie, gave it a quick scan, it's wordy, and not in the way a good noir novel should be, but we'll try it out.

Edit - Happy to report the book did pick up and turned out a nice read. It could use a little editing, and some of the prose didn't flow that well for a sentence here, and a sentence there. But it worked all things considered. Also some of the plot comes together a little too easily. Characters escape too easily, run into each other too easily, etc..... But I've seen established writers do worse.

Rating - 3.75/5.
