Downloaded and read this almost immediately after finishing the first in the series and it offered much the same as that book with some slightly different themes. I will say that there were A LOT of characters in this story and with much of the action taking places over 50+ years it was hard to fully understand who was who and how they were all related (both as family but also in the investigation) and so around 70% in I sort of gave up trying to "solve" the mystery, which is sometimes half the fun for me, but also sometimes not. Again I felt some of the language and key characterisations and plot points were ableist and dated, and I wonder if this will change as the books in the series have more recent publication dates...
