Second book in the series, but you don’t need to read the first book to understand this one at all. The author left the ending where it could be possible for more to come (fingers crossed) but, this could also easily be an end to the Andrea Oliver story as well. I like the alternating of going from current day to the past. I was really trying to solve it it sooner than I did. But, the story kept me on my toes with enough “twist” to keep you guessing the solution.

Not a fan. Too many unimportant details. The story was confusing to follow - maybe it would have helped to read the first book? Also, most of the characters are unlikable.
