This is the second in the series of All The Wrong Questions and if you want a review of the first one it is also on my blog.
PS. I hope you got loads of presents and books for Christmas!! I did!
The first book has a very strong link to the second one so I suggest that you read the first book to get a good understanding of what's going on. In this book (as well as in the first one) Lemony Snicket is the main character. I know it sounds cheesy but it fits in really well.Lemony Snicket is on another case but this time in search of a missing girl called Cleo Night, part of the wealthiest family in Stain'd-by-the-sea. Lemony doesn't know if it has something to do with the evil villain Hangfire who has a talent of mimicking people's voices or some other evil villain. Cleo Night is a brilliant scientist so Hangfire could use her for all sorts of reasons.
Lemony soon finds out that Mr and Mrs Night have been dosed with Laudanum, and drug that makes people go all crazy and forget anything that has recently happened in their lives. Lemony has already noted a suspect, Dr Flammarion, the person who has been injecting them with it. He calls upon Moxie Mallahan, a budding journalist and close friend, to help him do some research on Dr Flammarion. They both find that he worked on the Colophon Clinic, the clinic of a famous war hero called colonel Colophon who had an accident with a statue. (Get the book if you'd like to find out what happened!) Lemony decides to investigate. He calls up his old friends, the Bellepheron brothers too give him a ride up to Colophon Clinic. There is quite a crucial part to the story in the middle and coming up so I'll leave them out so as not to give too much away. (It includes Ellington Feint and her search for her father.)
I think that any Lemony Snicket book is a good book because they include a nice amount of humour and always leave you wanting to read more.
RATING: 9/10
