I like everything about this series, the characters, the story lines, the leading lady, Munch, even if it is a bit sappy, it is very entertaining. However there are a few obvious credibility issues that have to be pointed out -- the major one being -- does this law firm EVER get paid? It seems they take on cases without any agreement on payment, for example, taking on a case of a missing child on the request of a police officer who appears to be acting without the consent of her boss - no engagement to get paid there! Also, I don't know much about the French judicial system, but cannot believe it is as lax as it appears in this series. Or that Munch and her merry band are not in jail for all the illegal tricks they pull -- on a regular basis. But like I said, very entertaining, great character development, and I applaud the unlikely choice of the heroine, Munch, short, not young, plump, but smart and attractive in her own way.
