Reseñas de la Crítica

"A taut, compulsively readable, elegantly plotted thriller." (Guardian)

"A fiendishly plotted mystery that kept me guessing until the very end." (Laura Purcell, best-selling author of The Silent Companions)

"Twisty, compulsive and so, so clever." (Savannah Brown, author of The Truth About Keeping Secrets)

Series of stupid decisions with improbable outcomes

I don’t normally comment but this one really rubbed me the wrong way. The performance was great as usual but the story… It definitely went in a different way than I expected but the storytelling was sloppy. Without spoiling it, a lot of the details didn’t make sense and wouldn’t have worked in reality. Pip’s character evolved in a direction that made me feel uncomfortable, she made stupidly complicated unnecessary plans for plot reasons and shock factor where a more simple solution would have made more sense. She leaned into choices that were irrational and Ravi indulged her instead of being a voice of reason. What are the chances that not a single thing ever would be forgotten, left behind or go wrong? Why would you make a plan relying on perfection when a more simple, obvious choice is right there? Anyway, rant over. I didn’t enjoy the story and I’m going to pretend this abomination was never written.

Takes a bit to get into the story

Like with the other books, it took me a moment to get into the story. But a few chapters in and I really liked it.

Pip lost her integrity but it didn't let me down!

Unfortunately, Pip didn't have the perseverance to see how she developed into a heroine at the very end, as we did in the first novel from the very beginning. Although I don't blame her for the way the story has changed, it was unlike of her. As I kept turning the pages, Holly Jackson's seemingly infinite hints continued to astound me.

Terrible

I am going to pretend this book doesn't exist. The first two books were brilliant, but this one really destroyed Pippa forever. Horrible charachter slaughtering.

Disappointing finale…

Poor storytelling and character development. After the first half I was just waiting for it to be over… Nothing like the previous two. The narration is lively but still not enough to keep you on your toes.
