I've read the Lacy Steele books in the order they were published. first, third, and now the second. After the first book, i was pretty excited to read the next one. I found it odd that the 3rd came out next but picked it up given how much I enjoyed the first book. I was extremely disappointed as it was more of a pre-teen romance than a mystery series. True to the author's words, it didn't give anything away to book 2 both from a character development perspective as much as the story itself. So you must wonder why I picked up this book given my dissatisfaction with the 3rd book...Well, I was just curious to know what happened in the middle.I must say that the author did redeem herself a bit. Although still not as good as the first, it did have a mystery aspect to it. And, I have to say I was stumped for quite a while. The character development helped to explain a bit to book 3 and some things made better sense. I liked how the author built up the story line but was dissatisfied with how it all came together and was solved, a bit too abrupt and with it a let down with all the suspense building she had done up to Lacy 'solving' it.
