The trilogy is a lot of fun. It starts off strong, ebbs a bit in the second volume, and come roaring back with the third novel in a post-apocalyptic setting. Good stuff, and the Centipede production values are very present. I only wish there'd been a slipcase for the set as was discussed at one point (I think Jerad was considering a thin paper slipcase, if memory serves).

Here are a few picks of the Women Crime Writers books from Library of America. Normally I'll abstain from books that specifically exclude based on race or sex, but this one's different for a number of reasons. And I desperately need to read Laura and In A Lonely Place.
The original set from Barnes and Noble had a damaged slipcase, but I ordered and just received a replacement from LOA. There were a couple of comments about having the books but not the specialized slipcases, so just in case folks weren't aware I wanted to make sure people knew the cases are available directly from LOA for 6$ shipped, a really good deal (just scroll down).

I wasn't collecting when this edition was announced. By the time I found out about it, it was long sold out. So, needless to say I had to pay an aftermarket premium for my copy. Even with the extra I paid, it was more than worth it. Just a gorgeous edition of this series. High production standards. Just wonderful attention to detail. The custom made slip case is great. Plus the thing is filled with great artwork. The pictures I took represents may half of the art. Just an amazing edition. Really glad to have added it to my collection.
