Tension with an explosion at the end

5 stars

There isn't as much death and dismemberment in this installment as the first, but there's a great tension around a mystery to solve. Then the ominous 'Graduation Day' looms and it ends intensely. I was sweating as I read the final words.

It catapults you right into the next book.
