I am really liking this whole series. I like how the overall storyline keeps moving along in the background. However, in this book, we got nothing from the background storyline. Maybe Mr Bates was still trying to figure out how it was going to go forward, so he put this book in the mix right here. Anyway, we did get to see more members of the MC in this one as well as visit with all the people we've met in the previous books. I really liked it and I will be continuing with this series.
