Too bad an excellent story is muddled by too many charactors and a poor, boring ending. 6 of 10 stars

Book 2 of the Clifton chronicles starts exactly where book 1 left off. Harry is imprisoned as part of a mistaken identity, his mother thinks he’s dead and Emma is searching for him as she believes he is alive (but has nothing to base it on except an unopened letter at Maise’s in Harry’s handwriting). This series is all about plot and it’s pretty fun to watch it unfold. Don’t expect to get deeply into the characters because it just isn’t going to happen. On the list of annoying things is that money continually falls into the laps of the “good” characters. Also, WWII is barely mentioned and those who die are conveniently the lower class.
