     It took me a while to read this book, but not because it wasn't good! Most of the times I picked it up I got really into it. It did lull at certain points. 
     The characters weren't as lovable in this book as in the first, their character development at least of Alice and Iris from the first book made them a bit more unlikable. I would have liked more of Spike since he seems to becoming a romantic lead but he's still only a minor character in this book. 
    I was glad they solved the Mona Mooney mystery and I hope they solve Remmy Jackson's murder next! I did figure out the Mona story about halfway through the book, but since I read it over so long not the current day one, if I'd read it faster I would have figured it out easily. 
Overall a solid but not amazing book.

I really enjoyed this book. At first I didn’t realise it was a sequel so I was a bit confused but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the book.

I did suspect that Henderson was the murderer way before it was revealed.

Something that stopped me enjoying the book more was the sheer stupidity of the main characters. Every time they went to a sketchy place to investigate and told nobody about their plans I was screaming internally. To be fair they are teenagers but still… that’s just dumb.
