The Brothers' Keepers (Parched) (Book 2)

This is a follow up to the first book, When Camels Fly. While this could be read as a stand alone, it is best to read the first book to get a feel for the characters, their careers and what started in book 1 (water theft) continues in this book. It is a different plot with a familiar theme.

We see the return of the Madison family - Grace, Mark, Maggie, Jeff and the newest member, Becca. Between them they work or have connections to many government "spy" agencies - CIA, MI6, BBC (ok that one is a network), UNESCO and a tie to Mossad but not in the family...yet! Maggie is still single with 2 men interested in her with ties to various organizations.

I enjoyed this book better than the first one. I think probably because there weren't as many new characters and several characters were carried over from the first book so I was familiar with them.

The ending leaves you hanging a bit. You realize that the story isn't over yet BUT did they really figure out what Maggie thought she had uncovered in her water research? I'm guessing we will find out more in book 3 due out this fall.
