I did enjoy it over all...it seems a couple things struck me enough that I marked them with orange stickies....so --
#1 Questioned Document Examiners are NOT graphologists. Graphology is actually NOT a science, but something you can do for fun when you go to the fair. Graphologists examine your (or anyone's) handwriting to determine personality traits. Actually, while I have seen it work on occassion, it is not a science, it is along the lines of astrology -- you can believe it, but there isn't any scientific proof that it works. So, this irked me a bit. and now...off my soap box.
#2 For all intents and purposes -- M.R. stop using this, really. Thanks.
Ok, enough whining, it is quite a good book. I did figure it out before the end, but I like that Rowan felt dumb about it. Nice.

I could not put it down and liked it a lot more than books 1 and 2 of the series. I liked the characters more, the story was very good and captivating, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
