Part of what I've enjoyed with this series, ever since The Ritual Bath, is watching the characters grow and age in real time. Now Peter's semi-retired, and he and Rina have left LA for upstate New York, so they can be closer to their grown children and grandchildren.

Even so, murder has a way of following them, and while their small college town may seem more suited to a "cozy" mystery than LAPD cases, there's still plenty of blood and gore.

New characters are introduced (and return), and there's an outing with the entire family, so fans will feel like they're settling in for a comfortable reunion. Best of all, the murder had me guessing up to the end whodunnit, which is really the best part of all with a long running series.

I just couldn't get into this book. I would read it and then put it down for months in light of a more interesting read. It most probably been something to do with the mathematical aspect as math isn't my strong point but I just found the pace and reading it quite boring. I was interested at the mystery side but just couldn't read it all the way.

Good thing it was only $5 for three books deal in a local pop up book store that I got it from so I didn't waste much money at all as I enjoyed the other two I picked out.
