The Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus Series - Faye Kellerman

one sentence summary:
a hard hitting cop meets an Orthodox Jew and falls in love. 

Review:
This series starts with a punch and 20 books later is still going strong. The real strength in the series are the characters of Rina and Peter, they start out knowing nothing of the world the other is from and gradually build a world together. Each novel has a hard punching crime fiction type plot, as well as religious conflicting undertones and amazing reflections of human nature. The writing is really good for the genre, better (less repetitive  than many of the "best" authors in the genre (yeah I am talking to you James Patterson). I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys crime fiction and/or is interested in a relationship where one person is Orthodox and one is not (because really that is what the whole series is about).  

8/10-6/10
