Absolutely, totally agree with you on all points!
funny you used the phrase, "story isn't linear" because I thought of it as a loop. I re-read the beginning when I got to the end, and I think it could have started any where. While this wasn't my favorite in the series, Tana Hoban is still queen of analogies. I could read her writing all day long. There was one scene with the girls sitting outside in the beginning of the book, and she (Hoban) has a knack for describing little nuances and feelings. She was able to do the same with Stephen at times, when he was remembering his own youth.
French, you mean? How is it a loop exactly?
I agree that a mystery novel needs to be somewhat compelling. I struggled to read it, and did so mainly because i loved the first three books and was hoping for a redeeming ending.
