Even more intense than the first one of these. This time instead of an almost accidental murder, we have a racist conspiracy, and murder and mayhem on a grand scale. Lily has a new boyfriend, but both of the old ones are safely paired up with appropriate partners. I got the feeling that Harris had decided that neither one of them was going to work for Lily in the long run - but she liked them, so she wrote in new characters so she wouldn't have to just dump them on their own.
It would be an interesting change if in the next one she can avoid mauling Lily to within an inch of her life. I really think she has reached beyond a plausible limit of physical damage that she can inflict on one character.
This was my Friday night treat - and it really is still Friday night although the clock says Saturday morning. I will try to hold off on another one of them - or another one of the San Francisco stories for a few days at least. I have several books on paper that I really do want to read - and there is always statistics - the good doctor informed us in our last class meeting that the pace we have been keeping was only review and the actual course would start in another week or so.
