I'm afraid that I found this book lacking. Lacking what, you may ask? A little of everything. 
 The characters seem to have lost a little luster, and were seeming a little flat. Instead of laughing, I found I was sighing at their antics. 
 The plot was predictable, but I found the killer's motive to be flimsy, at best. 
 And for the first time, I found Stephanie's relationship ethics to be reprehensible. I find a book very hard to read if I can't relate with the main character. 
 I think the only reason I gave this book three stars is for old time's sake. Thankfully, I feel the series coming to an inevitable close.
