Mr. Kiss and Tell (Veronica Mars #2) by Rob Thomas, Jennifer Graham

Goodreads Summary:

In the second book in the New York Times bestselling mystery series, Veronica Mars is back with a case that will expose the hidden workings of one of Neptune’s most murderous locations.

The Neptune Grand has always been the seaside town’s ritziest hotel, despite the shady dealings and high-profile scandals that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and left for dead by a staff member, the owners know that they have a potential powder keg on their hands. They turn to Veronica to disprove—or prove—the woman's story.

The case is a complicated mix of hard facts, mysterious occurrences, and uncooperative witnesses. The hotel refuses to turn over its reservation list and the victim won’t divulge who she was meeting that night. Add in the facts that the attack happened months ago, the victim’s memory is fuzzy, and there are holes in the hotel’s surveillance system, and Veronica has a convoluted mess on her hands. As she works to fill in the missing pieces, it becomes clear that someone is lying—but who? And why?

My Thoughts:

I read the first Veronica Mars book, but it appears I never reviewed it, which is a damn shame because I really liked it. But since it has been some time since reading it I don't think it would be fair to review it more than to say I enjoyed it and you should read it, even if you aren't a fan of Veronica Mars but definitely read it if you are a fan.

In this second installment of the series we pick up about where we left off with the first book. Veronica and Logan are still together and trying to figure out what that means. He is still in the Navy which isn't easy, but her dedication to her own dangerous occupation doesn't ease things along either.

The main mystery in this book is about a girl who is attacked at a local high end hotel. The girl doesn't have much of a memory about what happened to her. Veronica takes the case initially for the hotel, but ends up finishing the case for the victim. Classic Veronica seeking out justice when no one else will.

I liked this book, yes, I am a Veronica Mars fan, but on its own I think this series is pretty good and got even better with the second installment. I would recommend this book to mystery lovers and of course fellow Marshmallows.

While writing this review I was listening to Damien Rice.
