As a sequel, this is a fantastic book. It builds on the first one in a brilliant way, allowing us to see that Lilly still has a lot to learn in her new profession. At times, she does seem too hard on herself, and that was sad to see.
I do wish the narrative had remained with her more, instead of moving to Cade as often as it did. It was necessary for the story to be told, but I want more of Lilly not Cade! As a side character, Cade is not bad, but he just didn't keep my interest in this book.
For readers who enjoy a female detective using her skills to the best of her ability, this is a must read.
The author was kind enough to give me a physical copy of the book for reviewing purposes. ( )
