As once sang the great Peggy Lee, "Is that all there is?
The characters in the first three Highland Pleasures books just about leaped off the pages. They appear again in Book 4, but as flat as paint on a wall. I was left with the impression of travel by train, by coach and landau, by boat and by shank's mare while nothing really happened. My fault as the reader perhaps, for there was attempted assassination by gun and by explosives but I was numb by page 174. A very disappointing fourth in a series I had enjoyed at first -- and at second -- reading.
