- Book can be read as a standalone. Story takes place between books #1 & #2.
- If you are reading by audio, there is a narrator change in #10. Carrington Macduffie is a good narrator and it was not jarring to go from Anna Fields to Macduffie. Though, they have distinctly different styles of narration.

It was cool to get the background story about how Barbara helped Martin and won a spot to do her neighborhood work from the restaurant. Story tone & writing style is not like what Wilhelm had in the earlier books. I recommend reading the books in publication order vs chronological order because the tone change in writing may be odder than the narrator change.

I have finally caught up to the final Barbara Holloway story. This is probably one of the hardest of hers to read. I didn't think I would enjoy it from the description, and it was a bit hard to get into the story.

There are some marvellous descriptions of Belize, and someday I'll take a look and see if it is correct.

The story takes place very near the beginning of her career, I think after her first case. It's like a time machine, going back in time. The story tells how she met Martin and Binnie Owens.
