Another fun book in the Adrien English series. I actually preferred this one slightly over the first, if only because it had a bit more of a love story involved. The interaction between Jake and Adrien is wonderful. I especially like the scenes where they exchange details about the case and Jake makes light of Adrien's theories. Their banter makes me smile. 
 Lanyon writes interesting mysteries. He doesn't give away the guilty party to the reader until the sleuth finds out himself, which I like. I know some people prefer to figure things out ahead of time, but that always leaves me feeling unfulfilled. I wish more mystery writers took this approach.
