I've been reading these books since they first came out in September of 2008. While the story is good enough, what I really love about them is the fact that I know I have a good book to buy every 3-4 months. It's the consuming and the collecting that I love the most.
The story is overall good, entertaining and fast paced, but sometimes it's a little too much action and too little story. Now that we're on book 9 things are starting to get a little juicy. I love that Nellie's (the au pair) connection to the kids and the clues is finally being revealed. It makes the story a smidge bit more believable. There are just way too many coincidences and close calls most of the time, but now that Nellie is part of the mystery it's making a lot more sense.
I think the next book is the last one. There are a lot of loose ends that are going to need to be tied up quickly. I can't wait to see if Dan and Amy take over as the head of the Cahill clan.
Overall I recommend them highly. I haven't been able to get my 10 year old hooked on them, but they sucked me in on the first book.
