What a lovely conclusion to the series! Action-packed as ever, even though Dean Honeybone is still 'trying to retire', with a brilliant setting in Paris, and lots of personal details in Dean's and Jean-Luc's relationship as well as the development of the family dynamics with Kaia and Kat. The only thing I didn't like was that it's the last book!

The observations about Paris and Parisians made me laugh out loud. While the central theme, as in all the previous stories, is a case Dean is trying to solve, there is so much else going on as well. Jean-Luc opens a new restaurant, there is a story about a toaster, a dog, and Dean gets to deal with an ex-lover of Jean-Luc's. Lots of mouth-watering food descriptions as well as very hot sex added to the richness of the story. Bravo!
