3.0

Didn't enjoy this book as much as the first in the series - at least partly because of a tonne of editing errors in the copy I read!

None of the main characters seemed as likeable - or even as well-drawn - this time around, and the teenage boys were hard to relate to.

Two disparate cases - missing teenage boys and the discovery of a severed arm in a piece of artwork - flawlessly connect in a somewhat irritating narrative.

OK only, would try one more in the series before giving up
