This is the 2nd in the author's Lalla Bains series, and I enjoyed it more than I did the 1st.  The plot line still gallops along with Lalla's propensity to find herself surrounded by trouble, and I am still reminded of Cybil Shepherd's character from the old TV series Moonlighting: beautiful, sassy, impetuous, emotional, charming when she wants to be but sometimes caustic and not willing to take crap off anybody.  Caleb is not quite the wisecracking sidekick that Bruce Willis was, but if you add in Lalla's father, Noah, there are still plenty of wisecracks.I also liked some of the new characters introduced in this book, and I thought the mystery had more depth, or at least it was harder for me to figure out and there were several surprises along the way.I read the whole book over a couple of days, and would have done it in one sitting except life presented a few things that interrupted.  I really enjoyed it, and the author just told me she is uploading a newly edited version that takes care of most of the typos.  I would recommend it to anyone who likes a non-gore-soaked mystery.
