I enjoyed the first two books in this series, but this one, not so much. I found I was very distracted by "continuity" problems (she was in the room, and then she entered the room ... she was holding the box, then she picked the box up ... that kind of thing) ... which tells me two things: the writing was not up to par, and the story wasn't intriguing enough to hold my interest. I do like the characters, but they didn't seem to be used to their best advantage in this installment.
