I remember really enjoying the first book last year, and I'm still not sure why it took me this long to pick up the sequel. I guess it's one of the series that has slipped between the cracks of my TBR mountain... But I'm glad that I finally made time for In The Dark. While there were a couple things that prevented me from giving it an even higher rating, there is no denying that I still enjoyed my time with this second book. I confess that I had forgotten most things about the first book and its characters, but it was still quite easy to read book two without that information. In The Dark offers a completely new case, and while there are references to the previous book, as a whole this sequel can be read as a stand-alone as well. The plot itself was engaging and quite dark, and there were many twists to be found along the way. I was a bit disappointed to guess the truth about Hannah's killer very early on though... But I can't deny that I never saw the full picture. The story uses a multiple POV structure, and it takes a while to become used to the constant POV switches. It was a bit frustrating to have to guess who's turn it was all the time, and it slowed down the pace a little... But the plot was intriguing enough to keep me reading. All in all it's a solid enough detective thriller and I hope to continue the series some time soon.
