Review: Didn't really like this one

I have enjoyed this series, until this installment (Beware a spoiler or two here...).Full of repetitious driving from place to place, always too late and two steps behind the 'bad guy', macabre murder descriptions - losing the 'good guys right and left', and several unnecessary-to-the-story plugs for gay marriage, it simply didn't leave me with anticipation for any further reading of this series, as the previous stories did.  There were lots of little side-threads, none of which were brought to satisfying conclusions.I did like Gris' little sidestory; watching him grow into a hero - he was the best part of this story.  Ms. Naquin is able to spin a good tale, and I like the world she has built, generally; this story simply didn't move me.This whole series has been leading up to finding Zoey's mother, and that didn't happen until the very very end, which is not an unusual thing, but it took so long, and there were so many obvious clues along the way, that when we finally got to her it all seemed kind of anticlimactic; depressing - just another stepping stone to the next likely book - not the reunion-and-glimpse-into-their-now-happy-lives-reunion that I'd hoped for.  This story just seemed to take way too long to get to the long anticipated ending and it didn't seem all that happy.  Oh well.
