With this entry, Harris is almost back to the best work of the series. The mystery was great and I liked catching up with Tom and some of the other side characters that we saw less of in the most recent books. I'd actually like to see more of Sid Cotten and possibly have him team up with Sebastian in the future. It would be a very interesting dynamic.

That said, Hero is still not back to her actual intelligence level. I'm not sure why Harris felt the need to dumb down the smartest and best character is the series and while Hero bounced back a little in the previous book and this one, she still isn't back to her pre-Simon level.
