My favorite current series and this one did not disappoint. I’m so attached to these characters and Dharma.
The best bits of this book: meeting Derek’s brother and NO MINKA!!
I loved the whole sub-plot about Obedience Green and the Civil War. And of course, I can’t get enough of the bookbinding/restoration details. I find them fascinating, although I realise this might not be the case for everyone. Still, I don’t think they are overdone in any way.
The plot line revolves around Brooklyn’s sister Savannah and a reunion of sorts of Savannah’s classmates from Le Cordon Bleu. The villain was a bit unexpected, although I wasn’t totally stunned. The whole ‘person-you’d-least-suspect’ route, while effective, isn’t always surprising.
Overall, I found nothing to nitpick about this book and plenty to love. My only complaint is that I read it too fast and now I have to wait until next year for another fix. Boo, hiss and boo.
