confesso che fino a metà del libro ero ancora indecisa se si trattava di una colossale bufala o di un capolavoro in attesa di "esplodere"...alla fine non è poi così pessimo, anche se basta leggere la 2a e 3a di copertina x sapere già tutto del libro!

No es que la historia sea mala, es que la forma de narrarla me ha parecido horrible, el personaje principal asqueroso y su coprotagonista femenina completamente anulada.

Loved the mystery and the serial killer angle, the chapters set in the Monastery were so well done and interesting.
If only the story had stayed with that.
I think we were supposed to find the protagonist charming or quirky or something, going by the way every single woman - including his daughter - was introduced tits first and by what effect they had on his dick. Apparently all famous FBI profilers ever think about is booze, booze, sex and booze, spending very little time on their actual cases.
The whole thing read like it was written by a hor...monal teenager, it wouldn't even be half a star without the interesting angle of the Writers and the monastery.
Give it a miss, the rest of the crap you have to wade through isn't worth it.

L'ho trovato un po' lento e dispersivo all'inizio, verso la fine migliora.

Reconozco que el principio se me hizo bastante lento y que había tantos casos que me estaba liando, pero me ha gustado mucho la resolución y la forma de entremezclar todas las épocas. Muy buena lectura, últimamente mis lecturas de novela negra estaban siendo algo decepcionantes, por lo que agradezco este libro.

Es un interesante debut de este escritor. La historia es dinámica, con un buen ritmo. Me gustó como mezcla hechos reales y contemporáneos con la ficción y fantasía, que hacen que la historia sea más creíble. El autor sabe jugar con el manejo de la información, te va desvelando los secretos poco a poco, pero sin llegar a cansar ni redunda en detalles innecesarios o descripciones extensas; y esto aumenta el suspenso y te deja queriendo saber más de la historia. No es el mejor libro del género, prefiero los de Dan Brown o Steve Berry, pero sí es una buena introducción al personaje de Will Piper y me dejó con deseos de seguir leyendo más de sus aventuras.

It's a pretty curious story and an interesting idea. The writing might not be out of this world, but it reads OK and fast.
