Review: Less than satisfying end to the series.

Set in Los Angeles and Orange County this final short story in the Spinoza triology by Elizabeth Basque gives us a new spin on the "Man in the Iron Mask" novel by Dumas. This is a quick read of less than an hour. As always with Ms. Basque's work it is well written and edited,.Spinoza, a Private Investigator, receives a call to investigate unusual happenings in Buena Park, Orange Counties home to several of the biggest entertainment attractions in Southern California. Something not quite right is happening at the home of the medievil show. Spinoza is entrigued enough to investigate.I found this ending to the series to be a tad underwhelming. While all the loose ends were tied up, it seemed just a little to easy. Our protagonist has shown  deep seated emotional problems throughout the series which, in this last offering, are essentially cured in just a few pages. Not the realism I expect from this author.The story was good, interesting and fun otherwise.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents Little Black BookMistBlueEeyore@gmail.com
