At this point, this is the final book in the series.

I did enjoy it, but...

Over the past few books, the characters have become less complex, as have the plots.It's also heading into "cozy" territory, from its origins in noir- and it's an awkward transition.

Josiah is becoming a lot crankier and more bitter, which makes sense but does not make the series more enjoyable.

This book dealt with international jewel thieves, which is fun and something I have not encountered recently.

I do wish that Josiah would achieve some kind of resolution to her ex-husband, now dead- but only after he stole all their assets and gave them to his mistress. And i really wonder why Asa- their daughter, who is scary- has not dug into that situation and rectified it. ( )
