Death in Dark Blue by Julia Buckley

5.0

Julia Buckley has delivered an engaging and suspenseful second installment in the Writer's Apprentice Mystery series with a gothic feel, a touch of romance and a complex and layered mystery that is woven throughout the story. I am one of those readers who has to read a series in order, even if they can be read as a stand alone. That is not the case with this series. I would highly suggest that you read book one first. I, personally, don't feel like these are stand alone books as there is a secondary mystery that is woven throughout both stories. Lena London, our protagonist, is joined by Sam, Camilla and the cast of characters from the first book. We are introduced to some new characters that round out the team nicely. The mystery is layered and complex while being woven throughout the entire story. The ending of this one, I think, sets up book three nicely.

I can't wait to see what the author has in store for the next book.
