Take the Key and Lock Her Up (Embassy Row, #3)

Initial thoughts: After finishing the trilogy, I wish I hadn't bothered. All Fall Down was a good book in and of itself. Tie up a few loose ends, and I could've walked away, satisfied. Thinking of the series in its entirety, though, things just went down. A lot of things in Take the Key and Lock Her Up were repetitions from the previous two books. As for the plot development, I really didn't care for it. The characters didn't develop much anymore either. The only thing that remained solid throughout was the audiobook narration, but even that didn't save the series for me in the end.
