Quite obviously, there is a lot of fun to be had here, and I laughed many times as I was reading. Some of that came from Martin’s two sisters who show up in Frankie’s life. However, I found that this subplot didn’t quite develop in a satisfactory way. The mystery started out strongly and kept me engaged, but the ending was so rushed that some whys for a major part of the plot got overlooked. I did enjoy spending time with Frankie again and watching her growth. Fans of the series will enjoy this one, but it is a weaker entry in the series.
