Definitely, definitely skip it.Hoping #8 rebounds and that it hasn't jumped the shark.  But in any case, even if I dislike the larger plot in one of them, I think the actual writing on the smaller scale is well done.And another "Pinkerton" by Zenith Jones (as David Frome)#3 Two Against Scotland Yard, like the previous one was fine... but apparently I want my detectives themselves to stand out a bit more. I might have auto-clicked getting the next volume on the kindle, but I don't think it will get me to track it down on interlibrary loan.</blockquote>
