Titled simply "The End," it may be the last we hear of the Baudelaire orphans and the evil Count Olaf, a distant relative intent on robbing the three siblings of the abundant inheritance left by their parents, who perished in a fire 10 pages into the first book of the series. But it does resolve some of the mysteries that have perplexed devoted fans since the debut volume, "The Bad Beginning," was published in 1999."
