Review: Okay, But Somewhat Disappointing!
Rating: 3 out of 5

Because I simply loved the first book and really looked forward to following, my newest gal pals, Aggie and El's wacky and delightful adventures I really, really hate having to give this book less than 4 stars.Unfortunately, I have to agree with some of the reviewers who gave the 2 & 3 Star ratings.  This book was okay but it just wasn't as entertaining or as interesting as the 1st book.  The plot seemed to lack focus and depth. The ideas of murder, ghost, an evil gypsy and the appearance of lost relatives is thrown out there but none are adequately or thoroughly expanded/flushed out.  Making matters worse, IMO, way too much time was spent on Aggie stressing and mentally musing over Andrew rather than solving the murder mysteries.  The story also didn't have enough suspense and aspect of who the villain turned out to be just made not sense at all. Generally, if a story is very engrossing I am able, for the most part, to avoid being distracted by editing errors.  However, in this instance I guess poor editing combined with a scattered unfocused storyline made the former impossible for even me to ignore.  The pace of the story also seemed to drag periodically or maybe I just got a little bored periodically which only made it seem like the story occasionally dragged.  Nevertheless, the story did have it's moments of humor, murder and mayhem that I found utterly delightful and for those it deserves and gets 3 stars.A bit later I do plan on reading the 3rd book in the Series.  I'm still not ready to give up on Aggie and El or the author just yet.  However, for now I think I'll take a break and read some other books.  For those concerned about such things there is some sexually suggestive dialogue and situations and a bit of profanity.  It is not a "G" or "PG" rated Series.
