I'm enjoying following this series and particularly enjoyed this one in its tackling that heart-rending subject of the ignorance and evil that turns on people who are afflicted - in this case by extreme ugliness. We live in a world not much different from the middle ages when it comes to prejudice of this kind - when will we ever learn?!

So anyway - great story, great characters, great dilemmas along the way.

This is a re-read for me; in trying to pare the 1200 books in the living room down to, say, 800, I find myself re-reading entire series. This has always been one of my favorites - the protagonist, her family, her office staff - all very real characters, and the mystery portions of the plot are always excellently done.

My favorite Barbara Holloway novel yet. It was well written, a good story, and compelling characters. I hope the trend continues with book 7.

This is one of the best Barbara Holloway books that I have read so far. The first chapter started out very slow for me, but it picked up fairly quickly after that.

Well-written and plotted and I do like a bit of courtroom action.
