Do you go back often? <BR/><BR/>Tonya -- As a matter of fact I have read several of the Fremont Jones series. I thoroughly enjoyed the first ones, but like you, found they ran out of steam. Or took a new direction.<BR/><BR/>Ann -- The first in the series is Murder on Nob Hill, the second is The Russian Hill Murders. Tallman seems to have a thing going with S.F. locations. I'd start with the first one...hope you like the series!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-24434830621546885612007-11-10T03:36:00.000-06:002007-11-10T03:36:00.000-06:00This looks just like my sort of thing.
