Second book better than that first
Kudos for a job well done. Many authors don't succeed after a first novel and it's always a disappointment. You carried on beautifully, same interesting characters and a good solid storyline. Keep up the good work.

Great book
I’m not much of a read since it’s hard to find things that catch my attention but this book has done it again.
