Final one. 1986. More red herrings this time till right at the end. Also more deaths. Publisher of this re-edition says it's "fun, fun, fun" but then he also liked 3 better than 1, while I prefer a bit of grim - yet this is still no superficial camp froth. Structured around four major US holidays, with the decline of the new bar perhaps in answer to critics of DV and CL having it all too easy. I'm actually not sure of the symbolism of the (poor caged) carnivorous canary now.But I'm sad four books were all. It wasn't one of the co-author's deaths that ended the series, they decided that earlier, but I'd have liked to delve a little deeper into them. If that had been possible.
