I was surprised by how much I  liked the first book, so I was really frustrated with this one. The first book felt quite progressive. This one had a lot of sexist and racist stereotypes which annoyed me to no end.  I also did't enjoy the plot this time at all. The unlawfullness of Brunetti as an officer was also hard to read as somebody who works in law.
