The story was good, if a bit more OTT and TSTL than its predecessors. Sky Boy has really taken the stupid pills with this one, more so than usual, and crosses some lines both personally and legally that really had me wanting to strangle him. It was still fun to see the gang again and see how all their various relationships are progressing, especially Skyler’s relationship with his dad. The mystery was interesting, and not quite what it first appears, though I do think Skyler was a little slow to piece it all together.
Joel Leslie does his usual great job narrating with all the returning characters – spot on and fun. The new character Eleigh (sp?) though was voiced terribly. She’s supposed to be Samoan but sounds like no Samoan I’ve ever met. Instead, she sounds like she’s doing a really bad imitation of an Australian accent. It got to the point where I couldn’t really listen to it anymore and started dreading every time she showed up. I would have to seriously consider getting the next installment in audiobook format if her character returns.
