The narrator for Pip got annoying. I think it was a combination of her character and the way the narrator tried to portray her that got me irritated. The story in this book was alright, but didn't appeal to me as much as the first book. There were definitely more twists and turns that made it exciting.

I do not like Ant and Lauren.

I loved the first book already, but this was somehow even better? I liked the inner monologue Pip had, and how you could see the change in her as the book went on.

Jos tykkäsit sarjan ensimmäisestä osasta, tykkäät todennäköisesti tästäkin. Mutta jos et tykännyt, kirjassa on samoja ongelmia kuin edellisessäkin. 

Kirjassa seurataan taas Pipiä, joka ensimmäisen tapauksen ratkaistaan on tehnyt siitä podcastin. Podcastissa seurataan myös edellisen kirjan tapahtumien seurauksena käynnistynyttä oikeudenkäyntiä. Eräs Pipin ystävä Connor pyytää häntä auttamaan kadonneen veljensä löytämiseksi. Tästä käynnistyy uusi tutkimusretki pikkukaupungin salattuun elämään. 

Kirjassa on pitkälti sama hahmokaarti kuin edellisessä osassa, ja sen tapahtumiin viitataan usein. Hahmot jäävät hieman pintapuoliseksi, koska tutkimuksiin sukelletaan niin innolla. 

Edellisen osan arvosteluissa nostettiin esille se, miten Pip ei joutunut koskaan hankaluuksiin virkavallan kanssa toteuttaessaan yksityisiä tutkimuksiaan. Samaa on havaittavissa myös tässä osassa, mutta koska tapahtumat etenevät sujuvasti ja kirja etenee hyvin, ei se suoraan sanottuna haittaa. 

Jos kirjan tapahtumia ei lue turhan ryppyotsaisesti, ovat Holly Jacksonin kirjat hyvää viihdettä.

This was a good sequel to the first book! It was a bit slower to start but really picked up about halfway through. I wasn’t expecting the ending twist and it worked for the overall story. I love the audiobook format with the full cast read and sound effects, it really brings the story to life.
