The last in a fabulous series. Vicky and John's emotional arc is completed with verve and love - John fully reformed, Vicky in love and unafraid. I also LOVED the callbacks to the Peabody Emersons: John as their descendent absolutely tracks, and I loved thinking of Amelia's house in Egypt being a hotbed of mystery and intrigue even long after she left it.

I'll miss this world.
