Having spent the summer this year reading all three series by Parnell Hall also writing as J.P. Hailey I can say stop and make time to read his books because they are entertaining and attention holding series. You can start with Stanley Hastings series---and move to the delightful Puzzle lady books and finish with J.P. Hailey books. The last series is my favorite. True to fashion "cannot put it down" courtroom drama with a humor twist. Never heard of this author before this spring and was delighted to find the series I am reading right through in order. Wish the series had more books in it! You will not be disappointed if you love mystery, courtroom drama with not too heavy a theme and humor to boot. Not extremely complicated but enough to keep you guessing and amused as you read.

Mix Earl Stanley Gardner with some smart humor and you have a great read. There were some scenes that had me laughing out loud. I'm reading my way through all of Parnell Hall's books (Hailey is a pseudonym) and I'm loving his stuff.
