The difference in the characters from the same family

I just finished listening to this whole series and really enjoyed it. I loved the different generations stories and the stories were quite funny in parts. loved Missy's inventions.

Passing the assassination torch

After a series of less than stellar short stories, this novella gets back to business via the next generation of Bombays. It was fun seeing the children of the couples from books 1-4 attempting to find their groove.

On the downside, the pop-culture quotes that started each chapter for those early books is missing. Boo. Also, there’s not much of a deep dive into each of the now grown kids as I’d like, so their personalities weren’t that memorable. On the plus side, at least some of the original Bombays make appearances here.
