Agent Zaiba Investigates: The Poison Plot

This is a great sequel to the first book, which I loved as much too (if not even more). It all fitted together and I really felt as if I was in the book itself. It really helped to find that inner detective in me and, midway through the book, a little bit of hunger! It was really funny and I loved it.

After reading the first instalment of the series I was nervous that this book what not be as good. However, it lived up to my expectations and was even better than the first one. I think the reason I found it more enjoyable because the mystery they were investigating, the poison plot, was more exciting and tense. It was nice that it wasn't just the same characters again and there were some different people as well as the originals to get to know, such as Mariam. The reason I choose to describe this character is because she was in the first book but she changed and became a little less mean in the second book and wanted to help her cousin - Zaiba - in her investigation. I rate this book 5/5 and recommend it to anyone who fancies solving a mystery.
