Query: best so far

i liked the first book and was let down a bit by the second. thought i'd give this one a try before giving up on the series. so, now, i have ordered the 4th, in hardback yet and used to boot, just so i can follow mendoza's adventures in time. i'm not much of a critic, i just like to be entertained. kage baker is taking her place among my favorite writers, who include connie willis, dana stabenow, kathleen taylor, and nevada barr.
