This is the second book in the series and while it's an improvement overall, I still think the secondary characters need a lot of work. The main character of India seems only to fight with her 'best friend', whose presence in the mystery is token, at best; Her family treats her like the shabby step-child she isn't, constantly bossing her around and treating her badly and her elderly next-door neighbour is a caricature - she comes across childish, rude and impetuous.
The plot of the mystery is solid and I quite like the interaction between India and Detective Mains. If the author can improve her secondary characters, this will be a series worth staying with.
