I enjoyed the book but the first one was better. It took me a little while to get into it.

I was very unsure where this book was going to go after the last one, however it was just as good. I love the mix media of interviews and seeing the evidence, etc. But it's not so much that it breaks up the story. The last 45 pages had me gripping my book and leaning in closer while trying to keep my emotions under control so that I see what happens.
