- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this sequel. The mystery plot is well developed and the characters, from the get go, just seamlessly led me back into the early 1940's and Iris' life. While we see a rebellious side to Iris, it makes the reading interesting and appropriate for her age. I don't think I'd have had the guts to be as 'nosy' as she is to find out truths, but I liked living vicariously through her while she did.We get to see the old 'crew' from Pearl to Benny. The romance is nice added element but the mystery is what keeps you going. The characters refer to Iris as Nancy Drew, which she doesn't like, but I can equate this book to the likes of Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon style.The writing is fluid, keeping the reader moving, but there is a lot of 1940's terminology that I recognize from my parents saying at home in jest, but not sure today's youth will appreciate the vernacular. If you are a YA fan of mystery give this one a try.
