As a reader of the previous four books in this (amazing!!) series, this one has not failed to disappoint and was, perhaps in my opinion, the best so far.
All the beloved characters made an appearance in this book, along with my personal fave Jem. The plot had me guessing wrong a few times with all the red herrings, but it tied together in the end and as more was revealed, the more interesting the scheme got.
And finally, the romance between the couple I was rooting for finally blossomed, but since the main themes of this series is murder solving, it left a slightly bittersweet taste since we didn't get as much as I'd hoped for. To the future books!
