Very fun, I really like the way the series has settled into it's groove.  Nothing particularly surprising but just enough character work to keep it from being repetitive from book to book.  That said, this one felt like it meandered a bit more than it needed to, causing it to feel like it could have done with a scene or two edited out to keep the pace up.  I suppose a book centered around Ida Belle felt like it should have been breakneck paced.  Ah well. :)
