I am not able to read D.W. Buffa's series starring "Attorney Joseph Antonelli", because I have to read each when can find each. But, that's ok. I'll take them anyway and anytime I can get them. Plus, Buffa's writings are smoother than soap operas in being able to fluidly give background information regarding characters and events so that what's happened "before" is immediately understood "now". I just finished. THE DEFENSE, the first novel, and best-seller jumped out at me from the very first words--just as the first words do in all his suceeding novels. And, each Buffa novel that I've read is a "10", for me. I only hope that I will be able to get them all.
