Helpful Score: 2

C.S. Harris keeps up the high standard set in the previous entries of this series; fans of Sebastian St. Cyr will not be disappointed. The mystery is well constructed, with plenty of red herrings as usual, but a bit less gore than some of the other books. I see some reviewers have complained that Hero didn't play a big enough role. Well, I am a huge fan of Hero, and the first thing I do when I get a new St. Cyr book, is flip through the pages looking for scenes where she makes an appearance. I was not disappointed, and I thoroughly enjoyed the part she played in this book. It was a question of quality over quantity, and we see their relationship deepening gradually and realistically. There are more teasers about Sebastian's family background, but still lots of unanswered questions. It picks up almost right after the last book left off, so Hero is still pregnant, in fact I'd say she's now into her second trimester. At the rate this series is progressing, I guess she'll have the baby somewhere around 2016!
