The crime-loving Crims are back in the second installment of this hilarious trilogy, perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Pseudonymous Bosch!
Imogen Crim has moved back home with her family and resumed her commitment to crime. But coming back to Blandington isn’t quite so easy.
Between Big Nana’s crime theory assignments, regular schoolwork, and keeping up with her new archenemy Ava Gud, Imogen can’t find a spare moment to participate in the family’s new Crime Directive. And the Crims have even been bumped from the top spot on Blandington’s Most Wanted list! Oh, the injustice!
Then various Crims start disappearing without a trace, and Big Nana is convinced that the Kruk family is behind the kidnappings. Imogen will need to use all her shadiest and shiftiest skills if she’s ever to see her family again…
The Crims, the most inept crime family in Blandington, England are back and worse/better than ever.
Now that Big Nana has returned from her faked death, Imogen thinks she can return to her Queen Bee role at Blandington Primary. But a new girl named Ava Gud seems determined to take that title away, and Big Nana is convinced that their rivals, the Kruks, are out to get them. When family members begin disappearing one after the other, Imogen is forced to admit that she might be right and that there might be more important things than ruling the school.
Filled with laugh-out-loud moments, I hope this won't be the last book in the series.
This book is definitely one of my highlights of the year. (Even though it is only April) It is the perfect crime book which contains trust and overall comedy. It keeps you entertained and is not a book you can throw away easily.
Although there are some pretty funny moments, the first book is much better than this one. I still liked it, but I don't think I can give it more than 2 stars.
