Continues the story of Light's use of the Death Note and the intriguing battle of wits with L. Good artwork, but where these books shine is in the incredibly well-written story.

However, I must say that -- having seen the live-action Japanese movie based on the manga -- the way the movie handled the FBI agent's fiance was much better than the manga. I think it was more in keeping with the feeling that, increasingly, Light's use of the Death Note and his struggle with L is like an incredibly complex chess match, with each move thought out in excruciating detail.
