Not as good as the first book. I would've given this 4 stars but the whole bumbling romance part of the plot really put me off. I think it's because she went from being an assertive, confident woman in the first book to slowly sliding down the maudlin damsel-in-distress stereotype that I despise. Overall, the plot wasn't that well-rounded either. The whodunit took a back seat to all of Agatha's mooning, and I couldn't keep the suspects straight. The plot resolution was not so much solved as explained by the killer.

A fun read, but I don't see the series going anywhere. This will probably be the last book I read from this series.
