Like volume 1, a strong start and a weak end. The mystery, if anything, was better this time than last. I felt let down by something that I felt was not adequately shown toward the end, and I really didn't enjoy the supporting characters in this book, both those working with and against Allingham. The dialogue was also a letdown. These are cheap reads, so I'll probably continue for a bit longer, but I'm not enjoying myself as much as I'd like.
