It's finally here!! I really liked it and I'll still give it 5 stars because I polished the whole thing off in about a day, but I had my hunch about the twist (which was entertaining though thoroughly implausible).

I also thought the book did a great job of bringing beloved characters back together and addressing real concerns in trying to solve a mystery where people involved in the incident are still alive, as well as a touch of imposter syndrome.

However the book lacked the depth that we get from the full 3 book arc for Ellingham, so I hope something will bring us back to that. (Plus, a sweaty, humid summer setting just does not feel as pleasantly atmospheric
