I don't judge these as critically as some other books I read because I think of them as fluffy fun reads in between heavier stuff. This installment has one of the better murder mysteries in the series so far, but also included quite a bit of reflection and remembrance of past books, which felt tedious. Maybe closer to a three for me but I'll bump it up since I enjoyed the mystery.
