In some ways I liked this better than the first one. The stakes were higher, I prefer the new cast of characters and I like that family dynamics were explored more. Honestly, the only thing that let me down was the reveal of the baddie. It was such a build up I thought the suspect would be someone more...relevant to our main characters' lives? But that's just me, otherwise the mystery aspect captivated me and kept me highly entertained.
