Criminal: Lawless
This series just continues to get better. Each trade is a stand alone story with a few returning characters sprinkled in just to let us know that this world has a continuity. Glad to see Leo still kicking around, and Angie working at the Undertow. This book centred on the the theme of revenge and what it means - does it exist? And it's got some interesting answers, or I suppose technically non-answers.
The writing is tight and playful within the world of noir. I imagine that the Sin City series is similar to this regard. I've been borrowing this series but I can see it as something that I might want to have on my shelf one day. If you're a fan of crime fiction, this is a solid series with good characters, themes, and plots.
