The addictively entertaining Emiment Domain picks up where the first Mitzy Neuhaus novel left us - in the property where Mitzy and Alonso found the jewels. Hilton skilfully interweaves different plot strands involving property conversion, the FBI and a romance among other things.The fact that she ensures each one of these storylines remains compelling is a sign that she is an extremely talented author. The narrative voice is even funnier and authoritative then it was in the first book and thus results in one of those off rarities - a sequel that surpasses the original book.The addition of Alonso's sister Carmella, heightens dramatic tension between the protagonists and enriches the overall story. Furthermore, the harsh reality of trying to sell a property in our current economic circumstances adds an astute layer of realism to Mitzy's world.I was surprised at how moved I was by aspects of the ending. But it is a testament to this addictive and enjoyable book that I found myself yearning for the next Mitzy instalment.
