Bizarrely, the author - for the second time - repeats a very specific plot from the previous book in the series, but with different characters. It's so weird that I'm hoping this is a long con & we'll find out there's some dimension hopping going on. I can't understand how this can happen twice! And so blatantly! It's so weird!

I did like the themes around what makes a good parent. Griffiths explores that in depth each book and I think she does a good job. It's sort of the shining through line in what is so far ultimately a flat series. She has the interesting characters; she just needs the plots to match.
