Book two of this series can be read as a stand alone。 Readers who are already fans of Ms Daley and her very popular series will not be disappointed。 The mystery starts early on。Syd is still trying to figure out what resulted in her old friend being in a coma。 Was he targeted or just in the wrong place at a really wrong time?The main mystery in this book again concerns missing teens, or rather a teen who has returned from being missing and has no memory of where he has been。 At the same time, a c Book two of this series can be read as a stand alone。 Readers who are already fans of Ms Daley and her very popular series will not be disappointed。 The mystery starts early on。Syd is still trying to figure out what resulted in her old friend being in a coma。 Was he targeted or just in the wrong place at a really wrong time?The main mystery in this book again concerns missing teens, or rather a teen who has returned from being missing and has no memory of where he has been。 At the same time, a child has gone 。 Is there a connection?Syd came home to get a break from her stress filled life and to reconnect with family and friends。Fortunately she has friends with special skills and access to data bases everyday people and researchers do not。 She also has insatiable curiosity and a drive to follow through。I am glad to learn more about her in each book。Whether you are already a fan of Kathi Daley series or a mystery reader who enjoys an edgier cozy read, this is a series you will become hooked on。 Not traditional cozy (amateur sleuth) but also not too deep, dark and difficult。 I strongly recommend you visit Castaway Bay。 。。。more
