Rating: 2.5Maybe I need to read a different book before reading book 12. I still like this series but do some scan reading and, like I said, read it more to follow the characters than to find out about the mysteries. I think that is reflected in the score. Is the mystery getting in the way a bit? :0)OK, I just woke up this morning after finishing the book and the review last night and thought, "Hey, did I finish that book?" This was because there was no real resolution to the story of Brigitta and the "chest of gold" side story. I also realized that having Beau come out of the woodwork right at the end is one of my pet peeves where the guilty person is someone who has not been introduced nor has been considered a suspect but is introduced at the last minute so you could not have guessed whodunit. There were unexpected twists at the end that must have side tracked me from these two pesky issues.
