Reading progress update: I've read 20 out of 304 pages.
I don't think I am going to be able to continue with this one... darn it. This book is 8th in a series and while most series give you good background details in the first few chapters about the characters and are able to be read/listened to as standalones, this book didn't do that. I am lost. I will have to shelve this one and find another for amateur sleuth. Disappointing.
