I love this series, and I love Archie, Susan, and the rest of the characters. But this one was not up to the high standards of the first 3 books. The story - amazing. The writing - can't put down-able. But there was no character development, which I think needs to happen - especially in a series!

The story takes place over a span of just a short time, so that could be part of it, although it does take place a while from the last one. There's a relationship between Susan and Leo that is just barely touched on - we have no idea what Susan really thinks. And with Archie, we know that he's trying (?) to carry on, but we don't have any insight at all about what he truly feels.

The murderer in this one? I'm just left thinking "Huh?"

I wish I could give this a better review, but it just didn't do it for me.
