I so wanted to love this book. I've eagerly devoured the Maggie Hope mysteries and have enjoyed her journey and her merry band she's collected along the way. (Glad to see Mr. K reappear! And in the historical note that he survived the end of the war.) But as a final book in the series this just didn't do it for me. Some aspects were very repetitive - I got tired of how many times (sometimes multiple a page!) Maggie's gun got mentioned or how Chanel was always described as wearing "ropes of pearls." It also leaves some loose threads - about Maggie's mom and dad and sister, about if an agent is a double agent, and others. It was a quick, enjoyable read but ultimately not my favorite of the series.
