Not as good or captivating as the original series: (Review found here: https://www.librarything.com/work/272723/reviews) but worth it to check out if you are a huge fan like myself. There's still some of the well-loved dark elements found in the original that transfer over to this new series that doesn't make it too terribly different. It's highly recommended to check out the first series that inspired this one. It just didn't reinvent the wheel for me. ( )

It's great to be back at the pet shop, but also in an entirely new setting. All of the stories are fascinating and dark, perhaps darker than the first series. Not sure how I feel about the Berlin story, though... ( )

A nice collection of stories, but I wonder where the first detective is at. I thought he and D were lovers... ( )
