I loved this book in the series. I love the side plots that occur along side of the main story and how both are important to the overall conclusion to the "mystery"/case. I cannot wait to start the next one.

Minor: Sexism

If you are concerned about the warning for animal death,

although there is a cat death, it is not described in detail and it turns out not to be her cat after all.
