Query: A letdown

I looked forward to this book with high hopes, since the other books in the series are excellent. It was very hard to get into the book and want to continue to the end because the story just wasn't interesting. The reader doesn't get a sense of who the victim was, so it's hard to feel sympathy for the person. The murder part of the story really took a backseat to all the distracting social functions that Theodosia, the heroine, had to attend. The supporting characters, normally fun and three dimensional, were boring, whining, and morose throughout the book. Theo's relationship with her boyfriend, Jory, still doesn't progress. They are more like brother and sister. The magic of the earlier books simply isn't here.
