A really solid follow up to last year's fantastic debut 'How To Solve Your Own Murder'.
The story this time didn't flow quite as well for me but I found the mystery to be intriguing and again the split timelines with the live action of now and the diary entries of the past worked well. It did feel a little padded at times but the final quarter was extremely satisfying and closed out the story well.
I'm not sure how another story in this format can work as it could potentially feel a little far fetched but I still would welcome another visit to this world, especially to see if the potential love story between Annie and Crane comes to anything!
Cosy mystery, dual timelines and loveable characters make this a duology (as it stands) that I've enjoyed and would read more!
