This was one of my favorites in the series despite the fact that Grafton has taken to adding pointless side stories to fluff up the size of the book. We aren't impressed by more pages, Ms. Grafton. Even so, the main story was good and sucked me right in.
It had the added benefit of feeling like the whole last third of the book was the climax that so often comes in during only the last handful of pages in most of her stories.
