I became interested in the books because of the TV show. I wanted to read the source material in order to get a better understanding of the orgin for the series. This book is a bit darker the the TV series, but is spot on with respect to the mood and tone of the TV movies (saw all 3). I really do like this book and it has further helped to cement my OBSESSION for all things Murdoch. 😎
