I liked the whole "old-paperback-for-whiling-away-time-on-a-train-journey" vibes of the book, but it was clearly meant for a younger audience. There were clear hints of inspiration drawn from Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie, but the mysteries were wrapped up way too easily and a lot of narrative license was (mis)used.
But it was a fun and fast read despite its utter incredulity.

A pretty good read. A change of pace from my murder and/or spy books. It had a nice plot and the characters I really seemed to connect to.

A cozy Christmas read starring Willy and Alvirah. Perfect escape for a rainy cold afternoon. Not much suspense, just a heartwarming story.

No había leído nada de esta autora. En la portada me ponía " la reina del suspense" pero he de decir que de suspense e intriga nada de nada. Te cuentan desde el principio lo que pasa y solo lees como una limpiadora que se ha hecho millonaria y también detective (así por las buenas) va descubriendo lo que ya se sabe. Personajes sosos y vacíos. Final predecible desde prácticamente el principio.. en fin.. un libro bastante mediocre y simplón. Una decepción total.
