In this fourth book of the series, the plot has taken a more grounded and realistic approach. The story revolves around Kitt, who has begun working as a private investigator, rather than conducting her own investigations as she did in the previous books. This change has made the plot more believable and has added a touch of authenticity to the story.
One of the highlights of the book is the development of Grace, Kitt's colleague, who has just enrolled at university. Grace has always been one of my favourite characters in the series, and I was pleased to see her being given a more prominent role. Her strong character and humour shone through.
The only downside to the book was that it was a bit predictable, and I managed to guess who might be involved fairly early on. I was hoping for a big twist that would surprise me, but unfortunately, it never came. That being said, the book was still an enjoyable read, and it's a cosy mystery that you can enjoy without putting too much thought into it.
Overall, I think this is a great addition to the series and a must for anyone who is a fan. However, I also feel that is a good idea that I take a break from the series for a while before some of the characters begin to become a bit repetitive and annoying.
