I picked this up in the airport, and I had no idea it was a series of books. I think it stands well enough on its own, although I wish I had the benefit of knowing these characters more fully like someone who had read all the books. Much more classic mystery than a lot of recent additions to the genre, and I enjoyed it because of that.

Good thing I also got the next volume at the library 'cause this one was more of a page-turner than usual, and I finished already! Armand's many talents have perhaps ascended to impossible heights with this case, but that can be forgiven considering the much-loved real man he was modeled on had just passed away when the book took form. The historical revelations in this book were especially interesting, and the Ruth gets more complex with every appearance. Onward to No. 14!
