i feel that this series could’ve been condensed into two books but overall not bad! a good series to be curled up with. 
but David, i dislike you so much (i don’t care that he got better or his family or whatever excuses people have, he is annoying)

You know a story is well created when you can stretch a single murder mystery into 3 books! Things wrapped up nicely in this finale, and even though I guessed the final plot twist quite early on, I wasn't disappointed or bored but rather excited to see my own predictions become true. This one wasn't as thrilling as the second one, The Vanishing Stair (my fave in the trilogy), and so it doesn't deserve that high of a rating because

Spoiler

the snowed-in part seemed to drag on for ever and ever and also there were too many scenes where they just read Edward King files with nothing exciting happening

but yeah, still a great book which I binge-read quite fast.
