This was utterly fantastic—the writing itself is even better than the first book, the characters are vivid and well-rounded, and the plot was such a tangled web (not in a confusing way, more of a hard-to-guess way) and left me feeling conflicted even at the end.

All three are good detective books. I'm a little skeptical Song would stay alive that long IRL!
The writing flows nicely and you can see LA pretty clearly. Quick reads too.

Just as heartbreaking and complicated and all-around noirishly excellent as the first! Also, I loved the further character development of all of the awesome ladies, and everything about the life Song has built for herself since the end of the first book rang true and made me so happy.
However, the writing in this one was not quite as delightfully vivid--it seemed much more straightforward. I'm not sure whether that was a character choice, since Juniper Song has been through a lot since the beginning of the first book, or a result of the writer having less time to polish the sequel, since she's talked about the mystery genre having tight, new-release-every-year deadlines, but I missed the gorgeous and off-putting imagery of the first a little.

An impressive sequel to Follow her Home! I'd "follow" this book with a third Juniper Song novel HAHA. Let us hope!

An intense, feminist PI novel. Serious Hollywood/LA gossip cred, a rich and complicated protagonist, and a truly talented writer. Onward to Book 3!
