As always, Penny's writing style carries you along. And if you've read all the books in the series, you'll enjoy the company of some old friends. I have read all the books, but certain references to past events eluded me and were a distraction. At 600 pages, this tale was way too long, and the three main investigators seem to rehash the same points over and over and over. I also felt there were way too many connections between characters that stretched my suspension of disbelief. (And since the life span of a duck is about 10 years, how is Rosa still quacking along?)
