Helpful Score: 3

Fourth in the series and, even though it is potentially the best of the four, but extremely irritating with a "cliffhanger" ending that just seems to fall from the sky and leave the reader feeling shortchanged. Brandt seems to be struggling for a category - not quite police procedural, not quite cozy. Unfortunately, the abrupt and unsatisfying ending undermined an otherwise well plotted and nicely written mystery to the point that I actually checked to see if perhaps there were missing pages at the end. I like this series quite a bit, but would recommend that new readers start at the beginning and perhaps wait for book five before starting this one.
