So she's back. Thank goodness! I had always suspected (as I'm sure many readers had) that Stephanie Brown was never killed off, and that Dr. Leslie Tompkins faked her death. I'm hoping that we get to see them both in the Bat-books regularly again. (Especially Leslie over in Catwoman)

From the fight scene in the start of the book ,to the revelation in the back, Robin 174 was very satisfying. At least Tim has his friend back after a couple hard years of losing everyone in his life! I was also pleased that Batman wasn't the hard-assed character that many writers  use as a crutch and immediately answered Spoiler she was in if she wanted it. Nice to know he's got a heart.

Great dialogue, nice action, pacing was good, and the pay-off, even if obvious, was nice. I'm glad Dixon got to bring his creation back to his book. Now the mystery of Violet can resume...
