Not as satisfying as the first but still good

- The author Assumes you've read the first book and Avoids unnecessary repetitions.

- The heroine does not just fall in love. She therefore changes in important way to and learns to forgive herself.

- I enjoyed the mystery subplot.

Some negative:

- The story does not flow as Easily as in the first book. It felt like she what coming up with new twists and turns as to afterthought.

- Romantically speaking switching horses mid-stream did not work for me here as well it did in the first book.

- The end felt too short and unconvincing.
