Granted I wasn’t a huge fan of Fake Fin. Or backstory with Michael.
Overall this story seemed a bit unnecessary.

This follow up was a slower pace and had less intrigue, but a nice easy read with good writing.
There does seem to be a few too many plot points for the novel to have gripped me, and the main quest to find out what happened to Birdy was buried amongst Lucy's backstory. I think I was mostly engaged to see how Phinn had grown up and the impact his childhood had on him and was dissappointed that when he was found any tension was automatically resolved. A lot of conveniences for all characters.
Mostly an unnecessary sequel, with the new character additions not adding much. Enjoyable as a cozy mystery rather than a thriller.
