Lace II

LACE 2 doesn't miss a beat in getting you right into the action, withholding all the superficial hoopla that usually tarnish a good plot, which had been the author's big mistake with her prequel. But having the chance to redeem herself, plot wiser Conran brings back all the gang (including the omitted Kate from the televised mini series) for another tale of an illegitimate child in search of a parent; a male one this time. Who is really Lili's father ? Among a handful of powerful men only one fits the description, and it's up to Judy and her chums to locate him. LACE 2 is definitely an improvement over Lace. It is more fast-paced, more convincingly structured, and a whole lot sexier. It provides a perfect balance between tension and romance. A surprise treat.-----Martin Boucher
