The MBS stories were nicely wrapped up with the third book, so I'm glad he decided to write this one.

I preferred The Wright 3 and never really got into Chasing Vermeer -- and I wanted to so badly. I think I got the Calder Game once and got overwhelmed and had to return it to the library.

I don't think authors should rely on coincidence.
