The characters from the London Eye Mystery are back and even though the author Siobhan Dowd died, Robin Stevens was able to take the characters and craft a really good mystery as well. In my work on the MSBA committee I don’t often read sequels but we always need more mysteries. As much as I enjoyed this I don’t think it can totally stand on its own - you really need to read London Eye to meet the characters.
That being said this was very good. Salim and his mom have moved to NYC and his mom works at the Guggenheim. Kat, Jack and his mom have gone to visit them. On their visit to the museum, during some reconstruction with the museum actually closed, smoke fills the museum and during the evacuation a painting is stolen. Based on initial evidence Salim’s mom is accused. It is up to the 3 children to find out what really happened.
