Death Beside the Seaside | 
so-soPace did drag a bit in comparison to other entries in the series, but a decent enough pay off. Certain story threads introduced two books back are mostly resolved. I think I prefer those books where they encounter mystery in their home village as opposed to out travelling, and when the stalls to make room for plot points are not so painfully obvious. 1/2
Robotswithpersonality 2/2 I think this is the only book in the series that's this long, so perhaps there was enough feedback that the author has edited accordingly since. I guess we'll see in the next one! Armstrong and Hardcastle's banter, using being underestimated to their best advantage, getting bits of their derring-do backstory, and a reveal I didn't quite see coming remain the charms of this series, and so I will keep coming back for more. 3mo
