This sequel is as good as the first: intriguing, small pieces coming together, past and present interacting very well--and, above all, fun

Ok so I enjoyed this but not quite as much as the first book. I’m glad we finally have answers on who was behind the kidnapping and truly devious letter but we still don’t know what exactly happened with Hayes/Ellie and the current letter. Also the professor and her nephew?? Nate is my fav character. Stevie and David can be a little frustrating at times but they aren’t too annoying. I really need Larry to be a good guy cause I like him a lot. I’m going to continue this series, I hope book 3 answers the questions still left by this book.
