More Peggy, Ron, Mrs. Finch please

Good story but there are too many loose ends at the finish line. There were even new problems introduced in the final chapters. I wish Dean would focus more on the wonderful Reillys and a bit less on the girls who come and go and are rarely heard of again. With each book in the series it takes a while for me to warm up to the new character(s).
