The Loch Ness Papers

I was looking forward to this one, and I wasn't disappointed by the Loch Ness/Nessie aspect! Anf of course, as usual, the characters really come together to solve the case. You could jump in here, I think, but because of the secondary plot (wedding planning) it may be more comfortable to read the other books first. I must admit, I was a little sad that we get thrown into Delaney's wedding plans without getting to see the relationship develop more . . .

Just a note on something I've been thinking as I read this series: a lot of the personal action in this series seems to happen off-screen between the books or even between scenes. On one hand I totally get that–it is a mystery series, after all–but on the other, I do feel like Delaney ends up telling me (the reader) more about her life than she shows me. It's kind of a bummer because her life is pretty cool!
