    I didn't think it could be done

    This book is just as great as the first one.  We take a bit of a pause from what I believe to be the main storyline - the reason Mason left.  Still, there are plot threads from the first book that get some more play in this book.  So it's not ignoring continuity at all, but it is definitely taking its time to get to resolution. 
     
    A large portion of this book takes place on a Micronesian Island that has a plant that tastes just like chicken.  Tony goes on a trip to see what that plant is and how it's connected to an early case.  We also get to see his new partner. 
     
    Overall, the same humor continues from before and the art style continues to work perfectly with the writing.  The art does tend to impossibly busty women, but I feel that it helps to convey the crazy exaggerated feel of the book and isn't exploitative.   I definitely can't wait to get to the next book.

I enjoyed reading Tony Chu's character development in this bo...
