Review: Good story, not as much mystery as the first

I received a copy of The Plot Thickens by Danielle-Claude Ngontang Mba in exchange for an honest review. This is a short read and it overlaps with Bird of Prey. In fact, the entire story is happening simultaneously. The Plot Thickens is the story of what happened with Polliannah while Semya was off solving the mystery of the murdered model. While this book still has some misused and missing words, the editing was much better and did not trip me up while I was reading. The story moved along quickly. There was not as much of a mystery to be solved in this book as the first, but the plot seems to be important for the next step in the series. It was a good book, but I found it hard to connect with the relationship between Polliannah and John knowing from page one that John was going to die. I would say that this was a 3.5 star read. Good, but not as engaging as the first book. Still, I am looking forward to the next book in this series which I am sure will have more mystery because this story ends with Semya on her way to meet up with Polliannah. What I have learned from this series is that where there is Semya, there is a mystery and a lot of wine.
