This book suffers from too much of a good thing. The basis of any TV novelization is that it benefits from having pre-existing characters that readers will recognize and they don't have to do any character building. However this book includes too many possible mysteries (which are wrapped up in the end of course) and too many new characters are introduced that are crucial to the plot in some way that it takes away from the novelization part. There are two chapters from the POV of characters exclusive to the book. The plot itself is pretty interesting, but detracts from the humor due to the amount of detail. There also isn't as much joking banter as the first novel but the banter itself is better written. Not a bad followup to the first novel.
