I enjoyed this book but mainly because of its characters and the writing style. The plot wasn’t as good as the other two books in my opinion. 

I thought the plot was too complex and messy with many of the findings and unraveling of the mystery depending on coincidence and the unbelievable willingness of others to talk for absolutely no reason at all.

The whole prison thing was kinda ridiculous, I cannot imagine this level of corruption in UK prisons, though obviously I am not an expert on that.

Will still read the last one though, because I love my little gang of pensioners.

Still funny and readable, so as enjoyable as the rest of the series in that sense. I did hit a few worldview snags in this one, where the morality being presented lessened my enjoyment of the story somewhat, hence the lower rating on this one.
