I have only read books 4 and 5 of this series, but I enjoyed book 4 more than this one. The mystery was pretty interesting, but I felt that everything came too easy for Lila. People were falling over themselves to give her information. The aunties were hardly in this book, seemingly thrown in like an afterthought. This book was entertaining, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.
