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.

It was fun and easy and silly at places. I think the melodrama was dialed down a little in this one, and the characters are working through their own stuff, although not a “strong” pace.
