Even better than the first novel - as I said, no annoying "poetry", and Feth is much securer in her voice. I couldn't stop reading, and the whole book extremely dense. Feth once again reveals the criminal, the case and the solution from the beginning, and yet manages to keep the suspense up till the - very rushed - end.
