Compared to the first book it felt like we had less time with the recurring characters as well as new characters, it all felt a bit rushed. This wasn't helped by the fact that the biggest clues that led to some more unravelling of the mysteries were introduced by a new character rather than discovered by our own lead. Still extremely engaging writing style and I sure stayed up too late to keep reading it.
