Matt Wells is still worried about the aftereffects of the White Devil serial killer, after all the sister of the White Devil, and ex-girlfriend of Matt is still at large. Matt and his friends have taken things in their own hands and have plans for if things go wrong.

When they do, and notes left with the body refer to Matt, things start to spiral out of control. However it doesn't look like the work of one person, so who is doing this. It also doesn't look good for Matt when it's other mystery writers dying.

For me this wasn't as good as the first one. Interesting, yes, but there were bits that seemed to detract from the story. Also at 5'1", 15 stones isn't quite as morbidly obese as the author would suggest from the text, particularly if the character had a Hippo nickname in school.
