Penelope Harris and Thom Lund are back in this second book of the "Penelope Harris Mysteries" series and I'll be waiting for the next one.

The first book was a kind of an introduction to the characters with a mystery as a background but this one was so intriguing with a number of murders for each one to investigate in its own way either intentionally or not.

Penelope is looking for this night at the opera with her cousin Mary but as usual her life is never as simple, first, she encounters Thom and both believe that this is going to be a wonderful romantic night when the police arrives with lieutenant Blake to investigate two bodies discovered of Roger Warwick and his daughter Tulip at the Metropolitan opera. Again, Penelope and Thom find themselves involved in these murders.

The story was so captivating and puzzling this time and I have to say that it was better than the first one. You feel the improvement in the writing with a real interesting and complicated plot, the dialogues were better made and less boring.

I hope that the next book will be as good as this one and I wish that Penelope and Thom's relationship will be more developed.
