I read the first book (Pressure Head) and loved it a lot (my favourite JL Merrow book, now series). The chemistry between Tom and Phil was fun and sizzling the first moment they ran into each other so many years after high school. Their getting together at the end was both anticipatory and worrying as there still were things unresolved, so when I learnt there's this sequel, I couldn't wait to preorder it and read it, and was so happy I did!The Prologue is intriguing, and the first chapter is, honestly, a bit dry. But as you go on, things are getting better and better. New characters are introduced, and old ones are still fun in their own way. Tom's sister Cherry is a character that just grows on you. We get not just one, but two mysteries to look forward to. And most importantly, the chemistry between Tom and Phil is still there and still strong. There are even some really romantic and touching moments!Merrow's writing is witty and funny as usual. Her brand of British humour is simply unique. I kept bursting out laughing while reading. That's what I enjoyed most reading her book. And of course, all the characters in the book were well drawn-out and just fun to read.The ending is a bit abrupt and leaves you wanting for more, just like the first book. But no worries, there's the promise of a third book in the series! Can't wait for it to come out!
