My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I blame the fact that I read this on my terrible chest infection. How many times have I sworn off this series? But sometimes, all you want in the world is a new book exactly like an old book, you know?
Plus one star for a moment of actual clarity. Plus one star for the thing with the alligator. Minus a star for repetitiveness, sexism, racial stereotypes, and complete failure to move! Fucking! Forward!
Okay, I’m really done this time. No really. Really really. I swear. If you see me backhere again next summer, kick me, okay?

If she'd just quit with those moments... that moment of clarity (and I know the one you meant). Those moments of genuine human charity when Stephanie treats a suspect like a person. Those moments, few and far between, when life in the burg is just so beautifully amusing.
Then we could all walk away with happy scorn.
