The essence of malice

This was one of the better mysteries in the series but it remains frustrating how the author doesn't give you much to go on. I wanted more clues, more red herrings. Amory's false “solve” at the end was frankly ridiculous, especially considering she had no real evidence. Sometimes she comes off as stupid and completely oblivious. And the relationship between Milo and Amory... it was as if the author was determined not to put them on rocky ground this time, but then it wasn't as engaging as it could've been. Milo lies to Amory the whole novel but she's determined to trust him.
