This is the nineteenth book in this delightful series, and long may it run, because this is one long running sequence which shows no sign of running out of steam.  As usual, there are just the right amounts of old and new features to make it seem fresh and engaging, with James not currently in residence next door, a new face at the detective agency and another new location.  Perhaps it is the wonderfully satirical humor that makes these stories memorable, giving a warts-and-all look at many aspects of modern life mixed in with the coziness.  I didn’t guess the outcome either, and there are various other surprises in store to ensure that this series will keep evolving, and continue being innovative and highly readable.  Even if you think you don’t like cozies, this series has a keen edge which lifts it out of the common run and into a niche of its own.
