This series continues to get better with each book. Fifth Grave picks up just days after Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet. 
 Fifth Grave opens with Charley working a case, following a clients suspected cheating husband. After calling Cookie in as bait to find out if the man would in fact cheat, things get a little crazy when the guy discovers he's being set-up. We end up with the guy spending the night in jail and Cookie being relegated to a conceal and carry class. Yet, this is only one thing that Charley has to deal with. The others being the many deceased women showing up in Charley's apartment, the arsonist that started burning down buildings in the previous book strikes again, and not to mention the fact that Reyes has moved in next door. 
 One of the things I like about Darynda Jones is that she's able to balance all of these intersecting and sometimes conflicting storylines with ease. Maybe it helps that Charley herself seems to be all over the place (self-proclaimed ADD) that she's able to tackle multiple things at once, I don't know. I do know, however, that oftentimes when other authors try things like this, it's so easy to get confused and mixed up, but Jones always handles it really well. 
 We also are given a lot of much needed Charley and Reyes time. I like that Jones has be ratcheting up his appearances in the books as the story progresses. Trust me, there's no shortage of steam between these two, and it almost seems like they come to an understanding with each other in regards to their relationship. 
 As usual once you get to the end, you will be ready to dive right into the next book 
 Sixth Grave On the Edge. But it looks as though it won't be released until 2014. I sense I series re-read coming on!
