I really loved this second installment. Molly is priceless as an amateur detective. I like her style, and I especially love the shenanigans she gets into when looking for clues. I was laughing out loud at quite a few parts. The supporting characters are all really interesting and colorful in their own right.

The only downside, for me, is Barry - Molly's sort of boyfriend. To me, he seems overbearing and territorial. I get annoyed when Molly doesn't stand up to him - or, better yet, tell him to take a hike! However, the book's focus is not her relationship. So, I can overlook the few scenes in which he appears.

The pattern included in this book is actually pretty good, too. Although very simple/basic in terms of skill level and stitches ... it would make an interesting piece with the right yarn. I think I'll be making it as a Yule gift for my grandmother.

5 stars for this one. I'll definitely be reading the next book in the series.
