Summary: Good follow up, weaker plot
Review: This, the third book in the Galway Chronicles, is somewhat weaker in plot and story line than the first two. The story moves along quickly, but the suspenseful points are less believable than similar points in the first two books.Character development is also weaker than in the first two books. The good guys are so good that you find yourself wondering when they'll do something interesting, so half of the suspense comes from the reader wondering whether these "too good to be true" characters are really wolves in sheep's clothing. Turns out that they're really are as angelic as they appear to be. And when a familiar antagonist tries to play a good guy, his behavior is so out of character, based on the previous two books, that it leaves you wondering how Kate could possibly have been duped in to trusting him. Perhaps her desperation clouded her thinking. The relatively static characters and less-eventful plot don't pull you into the story as easily as the first two books did, and although many of the antagonists are eliminated quite easily, I think there is still room in the story for a fourth book.
