A Perilous Undertaking

Well, A Perilous Undertaking quite unexpectedly I liked even more, than the first book in the series. Maybe that was because it is not the first book in the series and we were already acquainted with half of the characters. Therefore, this time around, the plot was more concentrated on the mystery itself. I can't say, that it was something extraordinary in terms of investigation, but it was certainly knotted very well. Actually, I had my doubts about the killer almost until the last page.

However, the mystery is not exactly the reason that made me fall in love with the series. Of course, it is an important part of the charm of this cycle. But it would be worth exactly nothing without the main characters. It is a balm for my soul when the grown-up characters behave themselves as adults and not like over-hormonal teenagers. Not all the time but we all allowed certain flaws from time to time.

But the best thing - their relationship. They are friends first of all, before anything else. The can argue over a lot of things, they don't see eye to eye on even more things, but they trust each other with their lives nonetheless. What I appreciate even more is that they didn't hurry to engage in romantic relationships when none of them is quite ready for it. They still need to get over demons of their past and both of them know it.
