This book didn’t captivate me as much as earlier books in the series have done. Still like the atmospheric setting, still like the central characters, and the rest of the characters were mostly well drawn. The plot felt a bit ropey in places, especially near the end, and it seemed to go on that bit too long. It wasn’t awful, and still better than plenty of mysteries out there. I guess I just think Booth can do better, which isn’t really an insult is it?
