Faithless in Death

This one was SUCH a good addition. I love how we get to see side characters' living moving on, nothing is static, and all the while crimes are committed and the bad guys are always taken down. Definitely a comfort read.

Once Eve started going on the Big Deal Murders she really didn't stop, huh. We jumped pretty smoothly from killings to like...secret clone children being raised, trained, and sold to the highest bidder, massive conspiracies spanning years and tons of people.

The book is enlivened by a few milestones for some of our beloved secondary characters, but sadly there's still no clue about the identify of the Candy Thief.
