Review: Really great follow up

I read the first book in this series and really enjoyed the concept but found a few areas that needed improvement in my opinion, and I noted several others did the same.  In the beginning of this book, second in the series, the author comments that she does read reviews and takes them to heart and tries to work on areas that she agrees need improvement. This is obviously a really smart strategy and it has paid off in the increased reading ease and pleasure of this story.  Once again, love the concept of two sisters who have been through a lot-together and seperately-who open a B and B in Colorado.  It's a great premise to build a mystery on.  The editing in this book was so much improved.  The scenes between the main female character and her boyfriend the sheriff are so much more believable now that the language has been toned down.  The mystery aspect of this story is quite intriguing;  after a body is found on the grounds of the Inn and is determined to have been there for 70 years,  the innkeepers and their guests, a family celebrating the parents anniversary, band together to find  the answers to whose skeleton it is, and further, what happened to her all those years ago.  Great premise, well thought out, smoothly paced plotting, the mystery kept me intrigued and emotionally involved until the end.  I love the development of the love and passion between the h/h.  To finish up, the author did such a great job turning this series around which I appreciate because she has gifted me with wonderful, compelling entertainment-she has gained a loyal fan and reader.  I still wish this book was longer  because I wanted to stay checked in at the Aspen Valley Inn for much longer.  I can't wait for the next in the series and hope this will be a long running one.
