Jamie Watson and Charlotte Holmes are looking for a winter break reprieve in Sussex after a fall semester that almost got them killed. But nothing about their time off is proving simple, including Holmes and Watson's growing feelings for each other. When Charlotte's beloved uncle Leander goes missing from the Holmes estate -- after being oddly private about his latest assignment in a German art forgery ring -- the game is afoot once again, and Charlotte throws herself into a search for answers. So begins a dangerous race through the gritty underground scene in Berlin and glittering art houses in Prague, where Holmes and Watson discover that this complicated case might change everything they know about their families, themselves, and each other.

I read the first one and was able to immediately read this recently released sequel, which is great. But now I think I'll be waiting for another volume. Good quick reads, got me out of my reading slump.

I enjoyed the first book in the series more than this one. This one was a little too convoluted in intrigue loops for me to follow. I'd find my brain disengaging and skipping a paragraph or four trying to just get to the 'end' of whatever convoluted loop the next chapter took.

I still at the end don't know if I understand what happened.

I still like the idea and characters, just the second outing wasn't as much fun for me and i was unwilling to been engaged in the story enough to feel like reading it.
