Best of the series so far with regard to plotting and character development. Still, I am going to take a break because, while I enjoy these books, they are very serious and morally righteous. In some ways, that is a refreshing change for detective stories, but I get tired of Maisie always, without question, taking the high road. I want to see her struggle to choose what's right sometimes. Also, I agree with others that her method of “psychology” (which relies mostly on new-age theories about intuition and feelings ((female stereotypes)), rather than science) irks me.
