I wasn't super invested when this first started and didn't feel that same intrigue from before to want an answer to the mystery. It wasn't until 1/3rd of the way through that i became more invested. Thanks to the back half of the back I actually feel like I like this one more than the 1st (which is rare for a 2nd book in a trilogy). I feel like the mystery was a little more complex this time around and the path to get to the end more layered. Character development also stepped up with this one and I have a better understanding of what makes these people tick. Looking forward to reading the next one and hoping it keeps this upward trajectory!
