For whatever reason, I haven't been reading this series in order. But it doesn't seem to make much difference. While all are interesting, obviously some are better than others. I found this one very entertaining, perhaps one of the best in the series. While there is a clue offered early on that explains one murder, it's not easy to see. I just happened to think it odd it was mentioned at all and then remembered it while reading the rest of the book. But then you are diverted by the big murder.
There are two murders here, and at least one attempted murder. I double-dare you to figure out who murdered who until the end when Fen explains it.
