SPOILER ALERT: I was very disappointed by the end of this book. I have one last Francis book to read, so they are precious commodities now, and when the protagonist did a 180 from the now expected (and loved) Francis protagonist and ended the book--I seem to be physically incapable of doing a complete spoiler, so I will say that part of what I have come to love about Francis books is that the protagonists are very moral people. I don't mean religious, I mean they live within a code of ethics that does not permit violence except as self defense. An attempt was made to justify the character's final action in that way, but it doesn't wash. I am sure most people won't be troubled by it, but I am.
