4.0

In comparison to the first book, I liked this one a lot more. I felt like the plot line was so much better developed and the events throughout the story definitely kept me more intrigued than the first book. I actually really enjoyed getting to know the characters a lot more and how they bond together as the crimes unfold. Elizabeth is certainly a mysterious piece of work, and I enjoyed getting to know about her more, as the first one left a lot to be desired about her character. 

I do find these really good cosy crime novels and they do keep me fully engrossed. I think the witty writing and humorous elements of the books really help. I am not someone who reads a lot of crime, and so I think this element really helps keep me involved. They are not too complex either and this really helps me keep engaged. I would recommend this book as I think it is a great read. I liked this one so much I preordered the third instalment, so it must have been half-decent!
