My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don't think I could have endured all the scares and thrills that Emma Lawson withstood in this book, so let's hear it for strong female protagonists!
Superb pacing; the short chapters, each ending at precisely the right spot, kept me turning pages, anxious to discover what happens next.
And who doesn't love a story with a dog (actually, there were two...)?
I almost couldn't get enough of the supporting cast - even the retired landlady, who listened to the Brother Cadfael series on audio with one of the dogs.
Even though this was Book 2, I don't feel I lost anything in reading the series out of order. Book 1 has been ordered already.
