I've been a long time fan of this series and have loved most books, but this one just didn't quite live up to previous instalments for me.

The story was interesting enough but it didn't feel quite as neat as others. There were a couple of plot points which seemed to sort of fizzle out and not get resolved.

Also, it's a British author writing about British characters in Britain....so why use the word MOM?! They're our Mum or Mam. It drove me insane by the end.
