The boys need a serious vacation. I loved seeing them jump back into spying after so long away (with other more pressing issues). Except, all the time away from the city has made them not only rusty but, tired. They've barely gotten over the last 2 books yet they've been thrown into a political conspiracy while trying to resolve a mysterious plague (mostly) all on their own!

The co-conspirators were right under their noses & not gonna lie it was pretty frustrating seeing them clueless for 80% of the book, but the boys were so preoccupied with everything else that happened, I half expected the "big baddie" would get their hands on them first. (Wouldn't be the first time...)
