Not quite as good as the two books before it. It felt rushed, though it does wrap things up adequately.

I felt this book got off to a shaky start. It introduced the main characters from book 1 again, but they were all acting against type. Throw in some new characters who are overly protective of what they think and it becomes a farce of everyone jumping to the wrong conclusion.
I'm sure this is meant to add suspense but all of the characters seem unlikeable from the start.
Once everything is sorted out and the story proper gets going then it's back to an enjoyable read with a lot of actual suspense and action.
The ending leaves a bit to be desired. There's a brief explanation and wrapping up, but some of the characters are completely ignored.
