Heartless by Gail Carriger (book 4 of the Parasol Protectorate). 385 p.I loved the first book in this series, then didn't care as much for the next two. This one was all kinds of fun, though. Lots of balls in the air as Alexia juggles her job, her personal life, and her person (she's 8 months pregnant when the book begins). The solution to stopping the vampire assassination attempts was unexpected but enjoyable. Alexia investigating by pretending to be a servant seeking a new position while heavily pregnant was hilarious. And we find out some interesting backstory about one of my favorite characters. I had a hard time buying one aspect of the grand finale--c'mon, there's no way Alexia wouldn't know those facts about vampires--but overall it was so much fun I was willing to handwave the stupidity. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
