A Restless Truth by Freya Marske
3.0

The mystery element of this second book was weaker than the first for me, which I think made me enjoy this book less. Since the identity of the murderer was revealed so quickly and we didn’t have an element like the curse in the first book, the levels of tension felt low. The characters also knew what item they needed to find, but spent much of the time they should have been searching having romantic scenes. I think the first book balanced these aspects far better. I will say I am excited for the third book which I’m assume will be about Hawthorn and Ross with cameos from our previous leads.
