While this was an excellent farewell, I really don't like it when favorite series end. I've enjoyed Miss Zukas mysteries for several years and looked forward to each new book. They stayed fresh and interesting. I will miss this character. I also appreciated the author's note at the end and especially this quote from her: "To an author, a library truly is heaven, because we're confident that as long as there are libraries, years after we're gone, the words we write will still exist in one form or another, and we will still be able to hold that intimate conversation with you."
