The Missing Page

I don't really have a lot to say. Enjoyed it just as much as the first one and am hoping for another one. I like that the mystery develops James' past. I also like that there is more quiltbag representation than just our two main characters. I also like mystery books - but can't read them any more because 97% of people (main characters and otherwise) in mystery books are horrible, terrible people that I don't want to spend two minutes with, much less the length of a book. These characters are almost universally at least tolerable, if not likeable.

I definitely enjoyed this one more than the first, which I find rare for a sequel. It benefited from the main characters being established already as Sebastian could focus more on the murder-mystery plot rather than trying to juggle character/relationship development with telling the reader about actual UK history on top of a small town mystery plot as in the first one. This read less like a noir Swedish television show and more like a normal family drama which I enjoyed more, since I'm not really a fan of the mystery genre.
