Murder by Death

A great read. I've found that just about every trilogy has a bit of a sophomore slump in the second book, but I enjoyed this one a lot. Fast paced, lots of action and such great characters! And such wonderful snark! Witty dialog can redeem a so-so book, but when you have a great story *and* witty dialog, it's a joy to read and I didn't want to put it down.

Luckily, my impulse book buying habits had me buying both this book and the third one at the same time. It's not a *major* cliffhanger, but it's not a small one, and I was thrilled that I could close this book and immediately pick up the third and keep on reading.
