Nine books in and this is still one of my favorite series. I am late in reading this book because I hadn’t realized it came out a few years ago. And now I don’t have to wait very long until the next one.
I love the very short conversation Peter had with his mother when he was near the end of the case. His mom was right, of course. Without spoilers, that’s all I can say.
I thought that the birth scene was going to be rushed to make it fit in the last chapter. It wasn’t - it was very beautiful, and I felt there was enough room for that part of the story. I’d been waiting for that scene since the end of the last book!
