An Act of Villainy

I think that this may have been the best in this series so far, despite the fact that it lulled in the middle and I guessed the ending. The plot was satisfying and the author actually laid out clues along the way so that you could try to solve the mystery too, which hasn't been the case for a few of the other books. It was also fun to read how the denouement played out. I went back and forth about whether or not I was satisfied with the motive for the murder. I think I landed on it as interesting. As usual, the relationship between the protagonists was frustrating but maybe it would be boring otherwise.
