Frenchman Street – Suzanne Johnson

Okay ending to a good series. (Three stars for the novel, an extra star for wrapping up a fun series without disappointing.) The last book can be a shining capstone for a series - or can be a book-length epilogue. This was a workmanlike compromise. At the start, all the pipe has been laid: We know who the main players are and where they stand (at least temporarily), and we know what’s at stake. At the end of a reasonably-enjoyable novel the major conflict is resolved and many of the loose ends are tied up (or dead). People who read and enjoyed the first five books will want to read this one.
