The popular code-cracking teenage spy returns for another adventure, this one involving poisonous snakes, traitors, and vicious rumors. Ruby adds martial arts and the ability to see in four dimensions to her skill set, but otherwise the series formula is the same: expect suspense, witty dialogue, and intriguing puzzles, along with occasional uneven pacing and rambling moments.
