I really enjoyed the first book and picked up this one to see where the characters went. The second book picks up where the first book left off. If you haven't read the first book, I would suggest reading "Sweet Masterpiece" first to get the backstory on the characters. The author doesn't go into great detail about things covered in the first novel.Our characters haven't changed from the first book to this one. We also don't learn anything new about our central characters, it is just another day in their lives. We are introduced to a couple of new characters for the new mystery but I didn't feel these characters were fleshed out as much as they could have been. Elena was done well but it felt like Carlos Tafoya and Orlando Padilla were just thrown into the plot at points and I really had no idea who they were.The plot is really good. It moved at a pretty good pace and kept me interested throughout the entire story. I really liked the fact that I couldn't figure out "who did it" until close to the end of the story.Profanity, sex, violence - none in this story. It is appropriate for all fans of mystery writers!I liked this book and I am looking forward to the next novel in the series!
