And with this I'm caught up on this series. Still witty and quippy-breezy, engaging prose and characters. There were some weird, offputting editing errors in this book--instances of mixed-up homophones, mostly, I think, and something that jumped out at me as like a continuity glitch--but Byrne's prose does sparkle and pop. I'm probably not going to stress on trying to keep up with the series, it looks as though it might be settling to something like a status quo, or at least a holding pattern. If I see a new book and I remember the author, I'll plausibly grab it, but I don't really try to keep up with series. Still, these are entertaining reads.
