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/

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.
