I received this book through Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review

After reading and really liking the first book in the series, I jumped on the chance to read the sequel. I love traditional mystery books, even if I don't read them often and this cast is quite likeable.
Although, this is not a character-driven book, so they are not the focus for the most part. The focus is the mystery, as it should be. I think it just felt odd to me because I'm used to having even a small inkling of romance in the books I read and even though John and Johanna are married, they don't feel romantic, but more like partners until John writes about how he admires her or how lucky he is to have married her.

Okay, so the mystery. Now, I had a huge headache while I read most of this, so that might be why I didn't commit to my theory and let it go, so I can't say I saw where the book was going. I think this one might trick some people. It was a great little chase. I thoroughly enjoying reading people make deductions and looking for clues to make the puzzle work. If you feel the same, then I think you'll really like this one.

You don't need to have read the first book to understand this one, so you can jump right into this if you want. I will say reading these books makes me want to read the original Sherlock Holmes books. If you like traditional mysteries and Sherlock Holmes then I think you'll like this one!
