Didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first, but loved the Andy cameos. It was just a bit too complicated, but still an entertaining listen.

I read the first book and liked it, and boy was this sequel a disappointment.
First, this book could have been 1/3 it’s actually size. It felt like the author needed a word count to hit and filled the book by over explaining every single event that was going to happen a la how to write a murder mystery. As a fan of the mystery genre, this irked me to no end. I know the formula! I like it! That’s why I read it! You don’t need to tell me what’s going to happen! It was so boring.
Second, I cannot get behind the narrator-is-an-author-trying-to-write-a-book troupe. I hate it every time I read it, and this time it was especially irritating (see above). The narrator came off as very whiny compared to all the other authors there, which is saying a lot because none of the characters were endearing. By the time they were all very formally introduced, I did not care who was going to be killed.
Third, the ending just seems so implausible and really unsatisfying. There’s the ending, and then surprise! Another ending! And then again, surprise! This is actually the end. Maybe I was annoyed by it because I just wanted the book to end.

I just didn't get into this book as much as the first one, I think there was a less of the charm that made the first one so fun and unique, but it was still fun to read.
