I enjoyed this one more than the first in the series and I can't wait till the next one comes out. The story kept me guessing till the end. There was so many clues laid in place for you to figure out but it really was a challenge to piece it together so it made for such an enjoyable read. It's not too surprising that Rowling writes mystery novels now, considering that every Harry Potter book had a bit of mystery in it. What is surprising is just how dark she can write. I noticed the later Harry Potter books got a bit darker, but this, this is completely dark writing. The twisted minds she can write, its just scary good.
