The Gwenn Ramadge series features a Manhattan private investigator in four novels published between 1990 and 1996. Ramadge operates in the same New York City setting as O’Donnell’s better-known Norah Mulcahaney books, but as a PI rather than a police detective, giving the stories a different perspective on the same kinds of urban crime.
The series begins with A Wreath for the Bride (1990) and concludes with The Goddess Affair (1996). Each novel presents an independent case while maintaining continuity in Ramadge’s character and professional life. Readers who enjoy the Mulcahaney series will find a similar attention to procedural detail and New York City atmosphere.
