   	 I enjoyed this book very much.   
   	 This one of the most eventfully Mercy Thompson stories I can   
         remember reading. I believe have read all but this one issued   
         in the time of the Covid Restrictions when access to the SFPL was   
         eliminated then restricted to online orders picked up on the Larkin   
         Street side.
