OTOH, you're not the first person who has liked the 6th, and my DW even said to just skip the 5th. Whatever it is that's bugging me about the 5th, it bothered her as well, but not enough to abandon it. So I guess I'll have to give the 6th a try. It's in Calibre, since she bought it, so it won't count against my $$.
For what it's worth, I hated #5 and you lose nothing by skipping it since the case is rehashed in its entirety in the next book, although I don't recommend reading either. My comments in this thread about these two books from last summer are spoilered below:
