- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Okay so this is the second book in the series and I did like it. But, I guess I liked the first one better. This one did leave me curious about what was going to happen next, but I'm not getting a sense of urgency to do so. Which is fine, since the third book hasn't even been announced. Other than the fact that this book is talking about mermaids and other mythical creatures in a unique way, this book and series doesn't stand out very much from the other cozies. There are things that are starting to bother me in this series that didn't in the first, mainly because more attention was given to them in this book or because the relationship had progressed.
it appears that there is a love triangle-ish thing forming and I am not here for it- for several reasons. And while both guys have their perks and reasons why they would be both good and bad for her. I guess I wouldn't be so bothered by this if she hadn't already made a decision and picked one of over the other. My second issue is for the second time, the person behind the crimes appears to have gotten away with it because in the end a character confesses. But it's revealed that someone else put them up to it or they were aware of what was being done (murder) and was okay with it and doing nothing to prevent he murders. And they are not held accountable for it.
