I enjoyed this book much more than the first one. It was a delightful read which showed Molly's character development and allowed her to be a much more full and capable character. While the first story felt like the reader was aware of everything and was waiting for Molly to catch up, this book felt much more like Molly fit everything together right before the reader did. I loved reading the segment's about Molly's past and the epilogue made my heart melt.
Overall 4/5 stars.

Like the first book, this is solid but not amazing. The mystery part is better developed and there is some character development, albeit sometimes rather schmaltzy (the rhymed little sayings about keeping things clean is also schmaltzy, almost intentionally so). The deceased is a famous mystery author, who is dislikable so that you are not meant to care much about his death. I am not so sure that the motive is entirely convincing but that wasn't a big deal.
