Assessment:
Plot: Rich in details, the author drops the reader into the mystery immediately and relies upon a character from the first book in the series to solve the mystery. Thoughtful clues are revealed throughout the plot and allow the reader to discover and guess along with the main character. A few too many details do slow the plot down throughout.
Prose/Style: Paring down the details throughout would create a better flow for the reader. The dialogue between the characters feels genuine and reveals solid relationships.
Originality: Having a common character in a series often keeps readers interested throughout. The likable main character will keep readers coming back for more.
Character Development/Execution: The common character between the two books in the series continues to develop and change and has an interesting career. She is hardworking and learning right alongside with the reader.
