One of the more personally important books in the series as it establishes firmly the affection that the two main characters have for one another. It’s kind of trippy reading these once more as I know where the couple is destined to go so the threat at the end rings hollow. But I imagine at the time I first read it, it must have been heartbreaking.

As for the mystery, it was pretty good. The red herrings especially were well-executed. It proves another terrible tale perpetrated by folks more intent on assuaging their own shame and guilt rather than do the right thing.

Fine but not great. Not a big fan of the romantic dynamic between the main characters. I liked the setting and the appreciation for art in the plot, and there is some excellent atmospheric scenery.

I'm glad I picked this series up again because I liked this third one better than the second one. I listened on audio and thought the narrator did a good job.

2.5*. Very weird meandering mystery plot, which didn't really make much sense. And way too much irresponsible spontaneous sex between very unlikely characters, which also didn't make any sense for those characters in those situations. The writing is still good and the whole story is not boring, just very nonsensical.
