Starts up exactly where the last novel left off, well perhaps a couple of months later, but digging into the same story. This novel was enjoyable but I felt a little Scooby Doo at times in the sense that plot twists in one chapter were easily resolved as the next chapter began. Still a fun adventure romp And I look forward to reading or hearing the next book in the series. As with the first book, the audio book is excellent, very well voice acted
