While I enjoyed this one, I don't think I liked it quite as much as the first. I guess I expected more development in the characters, especially between Jack & Suzanne. Unfortunately, that doesn't really happen...
At times this book felt more like a re-hash of the first also. Suzanne's bumbling through the murder investigation seemed charming in the first book, but I kind of found it annoying in this one... she doesn't even figure out the murderer until the last few pages of the book, while I had them pegged by about the third chapter! I found it easy to lay the book down.
I'll probably give the third book a try when it comes out, but hopefully the author will have something new for us to read!
