I would advise (!ahem) buy them all as soon as your piggy bank allows and get them read, enjoy,  put into your library, re-read from decade to decade because,
who knows , , ,
slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

Thank you Malcolm; I take your point.

Prematurely joining Rosencrantz and Guildenstern without having the pleasure of reading them all.

Will rethink my plan.

All the very best.

The Table-Top Railway is an attempt to create, in British 'N' gauge,  a 'semi-scenic' railway in the old-fashioned style, reminiscent of the layouts of the 1930s to the 1950s.

No, he doesn't always get beaten up. You don't have to read the books in order, they do I tnink stand alone ok. Well worth reading.

I agree that each book is a good read in its own right, but who wants to read about Colbeck and Madeline in books 8 or 9 without discovering how they first met and ........... (I won't spoil things  :no:). Same with the 'Home Front Detective' series, much better I think to follow the characters through life and see how their relationships develop, (but that is another topic!).  :)

I used to be indecisive - now I'm not - I don't think.
