Loved this as much as Bk1.  Sadly #3 is not available as audio via Wheelers, so i might have to read it on paper.  I liked having this on my phone in my pocket and will continue with my next audiobook.
Saw something on my socials on the weekend that said if you love Pippa from "Good Girl's guide to Murder" you would probably like Stevie Bell from this series.  I had already made the connection and am planning to recommend this series to the 14yo readers who enjoy Holly Jackson, and perhaps also Jennifer Lynn Barnes.  I especially like the back and forth between 1937/8 and the present. A great mystery without too much to confront teen readers.

I loved this book. Each chapter's cliffhanger made me not want to put the book down.

The relationship between David and Stevie is complicated, and I wished it was a little simpler as they had already gone through so much in the past book

never been a fan of the Edward King plotline (imo it's unnecessary), but apart from that I liked everything else in this book and just absolutely could not put it down. A perfect story to binge-read!! + I loved that this book focused more on the mystery part and not all that teen relationship drama like the first one.
