Sure, you just need to figure out where to tie the loose ends. Is the big X working on her own? She could be the big baddie, or maybe there is another big baddie that she is looking for. You also should have at least introduced Mr. F before they go solving the mystery, preferably well before you start running the book.
There are many tweaks and twists that you could do to the book that make it stand alone, or fit into your own campaign. Just remove the Big K references, and make the symbol something that fits in your campaign better.
Book #2 is for making the players scared...book #3 is for making them cry! *cue banjo music and piggy squealing*
Book #2 is for making the players scared...
I thought book 2 was for making players laugh with comedic clown-assassins.
Is it feasible to run Book 2 as an independent mystery rather than apart of the actual campaign? I know it says it is possible in the book, but would it really work being run independently?
Yes, with no trouble at all. You will have to put one plot hook* from book 1 in (it is explained in book 2), thats all.
*That is Aldern Foxglove.
Clown assassins? Been a while, but considering how much of a Jokerphile I am I think I would have remembered clown assassins...

Aren't these, these or these flamboyantly dressed *ahem* gentlemen supposed to be clown-assassins? Our group affectionately refer to them as the "insane clown posse".
And don't even get me started on the rocket-bra wearing floozy.
Good times...
Good point, good point. I think Foxglove looks good as is, and not terribly clowny, but the average skinsaw cultest does look fairly flamboyant. Ironbriar just straight up looks terrible. I completely reenvisioned him in my campaign notes (though I haven't found a suitable graphic) and promptly blocked out the inbook picture.
Mrs. Roket-bra...well, yes. Very Madonnaesque. "Like a virgin, OH! Smote for the very first time!"

Our GM flat out refused to show us his picture until after we'd defeated him.
It's hard to be frightened when you can't help but laugh at your opponents. Hurts so good...
Unless my party goes out and finds a copy for themselves they will never see that. I've restatted him as an elderly intelligence based magus that's going to basically go nova all over them...think yoda fighting count duku. I just need to find the appropriate artwork...

No offense meant to the artist... but that painting is pretty terrible.
I use Obsidian Portal for my campaign, and I've mostly been clipping art from Paizo PDFs for the character images, but I'm going to use a still of Hugo Weaving as Elrond (from the "Lord of the Rings" movies) for Ironbriar.
