While I did enjoy this sequel, it wasn’t as fun to read as the first one. The “twist” didn’t hit as hard and the plot gets convoluted at times, BUT, the big BUT is, you don’t pick this series up for the rationality or sensibility of the characters and the plot. lol
What I loved about the first Finlay Donovan book and this sequel is it stayed true to itself: being over-the-top, convenient, fun, and funny. A cozy mystery/thriller that has pretty brutal action that won’t leave you squeamish. The ending sure does hint at a next book because Finlay Donovan, as it seems, just can’t catch a break and I’d still be here for it.
