A welcome addition to the Veronica Mars canon, as well as a great way to get my fix. The writing and characterization were much more solid than the first novel, as if Thomas and Graham needed to find their feet a bit. I've seen complaints about minor continuity issues, but I didn't notice them, maybe because it's been awhile since I watched the series or movie. 
 I did think that some of the steps to solving the case came a bit too easily, though Thomas and Graham made a point to describe how often Veronica ends up spinning her wheels for a month or so before breaks came in. 
 I truly hope that more novels are forthcoming; I'd really like to see how the fallout from this novel will affect the characters and ongoing story.
