Meh... I kind of like the lead character, but there are still too many cookie cutter characters around her. I'm hoping the further books develop better.

A surprisingly short second entry in the series, this avoids some of the unnecessary tasteless details of the first book; but this arson story is too rushed. The plot has holes that jar too much, and sense of place and characters are insufficiently established. After two books, there’s clear potential in this series, but there are weaknesses to iron out.

Began reading this during a trip across Europe and then only got to finish it recently. It was a reasonably good book but not the overly gripping kind. A good time filler, definitely, but it could have been much better. It had the potential.

Solid crime writing. A lot of jumping between scene and characters - not too confusing, but a bit much. And this one did a nice job of collecting some of all the loose ends from the first volume without being obvious - and still keeping some options open in the arc story of Rhona.

A good follow up to the first book, building on the characters. Looking forward to reading more of the series and seeing where they go from here.
