The characters are just as well drawn as the previous two but the plot is significantly weaker.
I missed the investigative aspect and having an outcome to root for. There are too many despicable people and not enough "good guys" with agency. The writing has a momentum that had me engaged throughout but I left feeling like there was an opportunity lost and that the strengths of the first two books were diminished in the pursuit of a tidy ending.
