I really enjoyed the first one in this series - the real murder aspect was cool. This one felt a bit flat - especially since I've seen the movie. The movie seemed to have a lot more investigating and back and forth and progress - the book she thought about it briefly and the culprit fell into her lap. There was no actual sleuthing involved to get to that point. Which seemed odd. Still I kind of like Aurora, she's quirky.
