What an exciting follow-up to the first book in the Burial Society series! Using a team of people with dubious marketable skills, Catherine and her shadowy organization exist to help those who need protection or other types of favors that allow them to vanish from dangerous situations. This thriller takes the reader from the USA to London to Hong Kong to Mexico City while Catherine juggles her latest clients. There is a very complicated operation involving many different characters who are desperate for the assistance of the Burial Society. NO SPOILERS.
Told in alternating points of view, this features a couple of the same characters from the first book, but is set three years after those events. I think it essential to have read the previous one before starting this just so you have all the history and backstory. There's lots of action and many different story lines going on simultaneously that eventually come together in a very satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed this and hope that Ms. Sadowsky is planning on a third installment. Catherine is a very interesting protagonist and we are still learning bits and pieces of her past and I'm eager to see what cause and clients she takes on next. This would make a fabulous adaptation to film or TV show.
Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend.
This is the second book in a series that needs to be read from the beginning, in order.
