Why is it that so many of the deaths in this series involve splattered brain tissue? The ending of this one was almost anticlimactic- okay, so everyone she's ever known is dead- can we get on with things? I'm not interested in you telling your story to a skeleton unless you say goodbye to the skeleton, tell him you're selling your place and going home, and maybe stick out your tongue or grind his bones for good measure.
