Keeley is my favorite among Mr. Powers' characters, although I do enjoy several of his other series. I was rather disappointed with developments inDetours (Other Places Book 3), a chronologically preceding book in a related series, but in Demon Bait, Keeley is back in form. The plot is clever rather than profound, but what I most enjoyed -- Keeley's own mildly snarky, entertaining introspection -- is back. The interactions with her friends and clients, which were also very enjoyable, are brief in this book, but the plot development is logical, and her development from a high school girl to an independent, and well, somewhat lonely power, is well done.The author achieved a satisfying conclusion, while also leaving open plenty of possibilities of future stories.
