I've read the first three, as I have them in a collection, and they're excellent. I was wary of the rest, because I worry they may be assembly line. Another good series of his is the Garret books. I have the first three of those in a collection as well. Garret is similar to Croaker in voice, but the setting and plot are totally different. Very good as well.
