Charisma

This is my first look at Jo Bannister's "Castlemere" police procedural series and I was very impressed with the quality of the writing as well as the overall plot; the authors characterizations are excellent instead of being the usual caricatures; based on this one book I would rate the "Castlemere" series as "don't miss it!!" It's a distinct pleasure to be introduced to a new series by a book this good, one of the best of the 300 plus mysteries I read each year.
