I reread the entire series to refresh my memory before reading this one and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Unfortunatly, it also made it obvious that this volume isn't quite as good as the previous ones. The others all had a mini-plot arc that resolved satisfyingly within the novel even as the larger plot arc continued. I didn't get that feeling of satisfaction this time. 
 All that aside, this is still a superior read, with all the same virtues. I particularly love Peter's' distinct narrative voice. Would love to go out for a pint with him. Eagerly awaiting the next volume.
