3½⭐
This second book in the Keye Street series didn‘t grab me as the first one did. The side mystery this time around really left a vile taste in my mouth and I‘m left wondering if something like that could even happen in this day and age...I really, really hope not. The main mystery took forever to go anywhere, which was in part due to the side mystery, I‘m sure. Overall it was a lackluster addition to the series.

The second book in the series takes in two plots; one about a stalker who hits close to home for Keye Street, and a side case involving dodgy dealings at a crematorium. It didn‘t really grab or hold my attention but it was ok. Rating: 3.5/5.
