Other fun edition to the Maggie Hope series, but this one has to go down as the weakest. For whatever reason, the author decided to make the heart of this book more about the attack on Pearl Harbor, with Maggie as more of a side story. Her "mystery solved" portion didn't add much to the continuing plot, although as a character she needed something to get her over the hump of the last book's tragedies. I appreciate history BUT I'm not sure I need all the hub-bub and a play by play of the attack on Pearl Harbor esp when it's not exactly factual (although pretty close). My other issue with the plot with Clara Hess - WHAT happened there? A bizarre story that had an ending that made zero sense. 
 I said it in my last review, I'll say it again - don't drag this out too much Susan. It's a fun series but all good things should come to a good end not a long drawn out one.
